Abstract
Shallow water reverberation in the high sub-kHz to low-kHz range is modeled using ray theoretic algorithms. The algorithms assume multiple-forward/single-backscatter along with reciprocity in the propagation paths. The environments modeled are assumed to be range dependent in bathymetry, bottom loss, and bottom scattering strengths, and range independent water column, wind velocity, and surface scattering strengths. The model is capable of simulating bistatic, and monostatic geometries. The output of the model is reverberation as function of time for specified beams (either idealized look directions, or realizations of the beam pattern of an array). Comparisons of predicted reverberation versus time with measured data for shallow water sites off the south coast of the United States are presented.
