Methods for calculating low-frequency surface reverberation at known sea roughness characteristics

The problem of estimating the parameters of a reverberation signal generated due to scattering of acoustic waves on a rough surface is considered for a bistatic localization scheme using the example of tone and tone-pulse signals. Relatively simple calculation schemes that make it possible to recalculate three-dimensional space-time roughness spectra into angular-frequency reverberation characteristics and determine the positions of the surface regions that mainly contribute to the integral reverberation level are found. A reverberation spectrum is calculated for the wind waves typical for shallow-water closed basins, and the positions of the scattering regions forming the components of this spectrum are determined.
