The objective of this investigation was to measure bottom loss in normal incident reflection of pulses of 12 kcps sound and to study its geological significance. To this end a semi-automatic instrument system was developed which is capable of making continuous measurements of the peak pressure and the time integral of the square of the pressure of the sea-floor echo, from a vessel underway.
