dc.description.abstract	A theory is developed for generating short time, monostatic reverberation realizations caused by three dimensionally distributed volume inhomogeneities in stratified media. A spectral integral approach to treating the propagation to and from the scatterers, combined with a two dimensional spectral representation of the azimuthally averaged scatterer realizations and a novel numerical implementation, combine to yield a efficient, high fidelity reverberation realization generator for predicting monostatic backscatter from realistic sediments.
