Review presents seafloor scattering data, highlighting implications for remote characterization of varying sediment types.

This review aims to summarize seafloor scattering measurements and their implications for remote characterization.
Compiled a large dataset of seafloor scattering measurements from silts to coarse sands.
Conducted experiments over 2 weeks to 5 months in shallow water locations near Portsmouth, NH.
Analyzed the dependence of measurements on grazing angle, grain size, and frequency.
Found variability in seafloor scattering measurements influenced by sediment type, grazing angle, and frequency.
Compared observed data with predictions from the small-slope approximation model.
Discussed implications of hydrodynamic and biological factors on seafloor properties.

Hare et al. (2025) studied this question.
