Abstract
We describe the simplest mechanism of cluster structure formation in the timefront of an acoustic signal propagating in a submerged channel under ray chaos conditions. It is shown that this cluster structure is related to the phase space structure. This relation allows, in principle, the characteristics of an inhomogeneous medium to be determined from the timefront shape parameters. As an example, the period of inhomogeneity is calculated for a periodic perturbation in the sound velocity caused by an internal wave propagation.
