On the problem of reconstructing the floor topography of a fluctuating ocean

We formulate and study the inverse problem for the nonstationary radiative transfer equation related to an acoustic mapping of the ocean floor using side-scan sonars. In the single-scattering approximation we obtain a formula for determining the function that describes small deviations of the floor...

Description
Summary:	We formulate and study the inverse problem for the nonstationary radiative transfer equation related to an acoustic mapping of the ocean floor using side-scan sonars. In the single-scattering approximation we obtain a formula for determining the function that describes small deviations of the floor surface from a middle level.
