dc.description.abstract	This paper describes some of the theory and implementation issues of modeling the backscattered
dc.description.abstract	energy from cylindrical or spherical objects lying on the seabed. The model utilizes a single-scatter
dc.description.abstract	approximation. The effects of various parameters such as grazing angle of the incident energy,
dc.description.abstract	receiver/scatterer geometry and the bottom halfspace geoacoustic parameters are investigated
dc.description.abstract	numerically. The paper is concluded with a comparison of modelled time series with experimental scattering data obtained for a steel-shelled cylinder and a solid aluminum sphere lying on a sandy seabed.
