Low-speed layer in water-covered areas

Abstract

In many water-covered areas it has been reported that the speed of sound in the topmost layers of the bottom is less than that in water. Several methods of investigating such layers are discussed. The normal-mode theory offers the best method of detecting and investigating a low-speed layer covered by water.
