Response to “Comment on ‘Anomalous reflection from a two-layered marine sediment’ ” [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 156, 1524–1527 (2024)]

In their Comment, the authors conclude that acoustic glint is not present in the reflection coefficient of a two-layer sediment in which the top layer is an Airy medium. They conclude, not that the original, inverse-square analysis of the glint is incorrect, but rather that the presence of glint is very sensitive to the detailed shape of the sound speed profile in the top layer.
