Abstract:
The method used for calculating the long range reverberation intensity in shallow homogeneous layer had been described in part I. It will be extented to include the inhomogeneous layer consisted of two isovelocity layers L
1 (near the bottom), L
3(near the surface) and a gradient layer L
2 (Located between L
1 and L
3) in this paper.
The rays in this mixed layer may be divided into two classes according to whether they can penetrate through the gradient layer L
2. Considering the faet that, at long ranges, the grazing angles of all effective rays would be small, thie grazing angles needed to caleulate the reverberation can be obtained approximately for both elasses. Then the bottom and the surface reverberation intensities
I3b+、
I3b- and
I3s+ are calculated analytically, as the projector and the receiver are at thle same place in layer
Ls (the sign "+" or "-",means the velocity gradient a> >0 or a< 0).The results for adequate long range show that
I3b+~
r-7/2 (for the omnidirectional scattering),-
r-4 (for the lambert's scattering),
I3b-~
r-5 (for both sciattering) and
I3b+~
r-1 (for the omnidirectional scattering).
A similar caleulation can be carried out as well for the case the projector and the receiver are at the same place in
L1, and no more difficulties will exist.
