Based on the mathematical model of the propagation of an acoustic signal in a fluctuating medium, the inverse problem is formulated, which includes determination a function that describes the deviation of the bottom level from the average specified horizontal plane. In the double scattering approximation and the narrow directivity pattern of the receiving antenna, the solution of the direct problem is obtained. As a solution of the inverse problem, a nonlinear differential equation is obtained for the function describing the deviation of the seabottom relief. A numerical analysis of the solution is carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
