Investigation of echo-signal characteristics for structural and lithological mapping of bottom sediments

Abstract

Separation of bottom sediments into separate lithological types by means of seismoacoustic methods of research belongs to the class of problems of recognition of distant objects in water and consists in determination of geometric and physical and mechanical characteristics of bottom sediments on the basis of identification and measurement of determining changes arising in the echo-signal as a result of interaction of the probing acoustic impulse with the studied sediments ...
