Abstract
Sound propagation in a shallow sea is considered within the framework of the two-component model of the sea floor. The porosity and the coefficients of absorption and volume scattering are treated as the parameters characterizing the sea floor. These parameters are determined on the basis of the comparison between the experimental and theoretical frequency spectra of a signal received from a wide-band source. A conclusion is made about the relative contributions of different mechanisms of losses (absorption or scattering) in the sea floor at different sound frequencies.
