Range variations of the average sound intensity are investigated for an 'irregular underwater sound channel' with absorbing surfaces which cause multiple reflections of rays. Cases studied are a shallow sea of variable depth and an irregular near-bottom sound channel. Lenin Komsomol State Univ., Voronezh, USSR. (mjj)
The acoustic backscattering coefficient of a seamount summit followed Lambert's law rather than the LOmmel-Seeliger law that describes shelf-water data, demonstrating that the structure of bottom sediments decisively influences the backscattering of sound.

Zh.), 30(5):351-353. Preliminary results of low-frequency acoustic probing along a stationary range having a length of several tens of kilometers show that the broadening of the signal spectrum from a low-frequency tone source does not exceed 1.0 × 10-3 Hz. Variations of the phase front of the sound wave in the horizontal plane are observed, attaining 0.5 ° . The spectrum of the signal envelope contains components with periods of 24, 12, 8, and 6 h, along with a broad set of spectral components with periods ranging from several minutes to hours.

Signals from distant sources produce intersensor delays in towed arrays, Factors which can improve measurement variances are defined and plotted versus signal-to-noise ratio and number of sensors in the arrays. Clustered versus equally spaced sensors are also investigated. Analytical results are obtained for three sensors. Dept. of Elect.

(a translation of Akust. Zh.), 30(5):365-368. A system of nonlinear dynamical equations describing the pulsations of two gas bubbles exerting a mutual influence on one another is derived using the Lagrangian formalism. The normal modes of the system are investigated. The Bjerknes force is determined; its dependence on the distance between the bubbles is analyzed. P.N. Lebedev Phys. Inst., Acad. of Sci., USSR.
