The effect of seabed properties on the receive beam pattern of a hydrophone located on the seafloor.

Multi-path interference is often considered when modelling propagation of underwater sounds from source to receiver. When close to, or on the seabed, a hydrophone receives the direct and bottom reflected signals at nearly identical times. The resulting interference leads to an effective receive beam...
