<dd>Typical acoustic propagation in shallow water environments is dominated by bottom-interacting paths. The effects of rough bottom interfaces and sediment volume fluctuations are investigated using model simulations. A numerical study of low-frequency (approx. 200 Hz) broadband pulse propagation is presented and several characterizations of bottom factors are examined. In particular, the variations of the interface rms roughness and a volume fluctuation strength constant on the time resolution of the broadband pulse are investigated. It is shown that interface roughness is the dominant factor in the degradation of pulse resolution</dd>
