Description
Summary:	The theoretical aspects of constructing hydrolocation images in a fluctuating ocean are considered. Using radiative transfer theory, an inverse problem of determining the bottom scattering coefficient is investigated. The explicit solution to the inverse problem is derived in the single-scattering approximation. The results of theoretical and numerical analyses of the impact of volume scattering on the quality of hydrolocation images are presented.
