During the July 1993 ARSRP bottom reverberation experiment, the R/V Knorr deployed bottom-moored, 64-element, vertical line arrays (VLAs) with the data being recorded by autonomous digital recording packages (GARRPs). Bistatic scattering data were recorded by these VLAs from R/V Cory Chouest and R/V Alliance transmissions. In this paper, bottom scattering observed at Site B' in the SRP Natural Laboratory with these VLAs will be shown and the received scatter related to the source-array positions and bathymetry. Modeling using UMPE/PEREV [K. B. Smith, F. D. Tappert, and W. S. Hodgkiss, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 94, 1766 (A) (1993)] and BB-UMPE [K. B. Smith and W. S. Hodgkiss, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 95, 2826 (A) (1994)] will be used to provide insight into the spatial and temporal structure of the observed scatter. [Work supported by ONR Code 3210A.]
