Abstract
To acquire a stable reverberation signal from an irregular ocean bottom, we derive the analytic surface integral of a scattered signal using Stokes’ theorem while approximating the bottom using a combination of polygon facets. In this approach, the delay difference in the elemental scattering area is considered, while the representative delay is used for the elemental scattering area in the standard reverberation model. Two different reverberation models are applied to a randomly generated rough bottom, which is composed of triangular facets. Their results are compared, and the scheme using analytic integration shows a converged reverberation signal, even with a large elemental scattering area, at the cost of an additional computational burden caused by a higher order approximation in the surface integral of the scattered signals.
