Abstract
The seabed can often be modeled as layers, which are in general not flat. The ability to model scattering from such rough layers is important for interpreting data from acoustics systems such as chirp sonar and echo sounders. The goal of this work is to investigate this scattering problem for a normal incidence scenario. A set of one-dimensional fluid rough interface realizations was generated using Monte Carlo method. Integral equations for the problem are solved, which include all multiple scattering effects. The solution is simplified when scattering matrices for each individual rough interface are pre-calculated. Based on the exact solution, the applicability of Kirchhoff approximation under various conditions is evaluated. The approximated method can then be applied to two-dimensional rough interfaces.
