The first and second moments, i.e. the coherent field and the two-point two-time correlation function, are calculated for the acoustic fields scattered from various rough surfaces. For each surface these yield the reflection, absorption and differential scattering coefficients, as well as an equivalent boundary condition for the coherent field. Renormalized coefficients are constructed to eliminate divergences at grazing incidence. The results are specialized to surfaces which are statistically homogeneous in both space and time, to surfaces which are not moving, to surfaces which are simply or multiply periodic, and to surfaces consisting of randomly placed bosses on a smooth surface. The surfaces considered are slightly rough, moving, soft or hard boundaries, and flat surfaces with random admittances or impedances. The analysis is based on the regular perturbation method or Born approximations. Comparisons with previous results are made. (Author).

Wave Scattering from Statistically Rough Surfaces discusses the complications in radio physics and hydro-acoustics in relation to wave transmission under settings seen in nature. Some of the topics that are covered include radar and sonar, the effect of variations in topographic relief or ocean waves on the transmission of radio and sound waves, the reproduction of radio waves from the lower layers of the ionosphere, and the oscillations of signals within the earth-ionosphere waveguide. The book begins with some fundamental idea of wave transmission theory and the theory of random processes as used to rough surfaces and to wave fields. This discussion is followed by an analysis of the average fields of sound and electromagnetic waves. A section on spatial correlation characteristics in the approximation of small perturbations is then given. Another chapter of the text explains the Kirchhoff method. The book will provide useful information to physicists, mechanical engineer, students, and researchers in the field of acoustics.
