Low‐frequency coherent scatter from a rough surface may be conveniently investigated using a linear boundary condition applied to a smoothed surface, of the form ∂φs/∂z=ηφ, where φ, φs are solutions of the wave equation representing, respectively, the total and scattered field potentials. The validity of the theories discussed here is restricted to kh≲1, where k is the wavenumber and h the mean spacing between roughness elements. The constant η is a function of frequency, angle of incidence, and type of roughness; in the general case of scatterers distributed isotropically over an interface between two fluids it is sensitive to eight physical parameters. Methods of calculating η for various types of rough boundary are discussed, and comparisons are made—notably between the boss and the stochastic perturbation models. Also examined are interesting implications of the smoothed boundary conditions; e.g., the boundary wave which is a true propagating mode corresponding to energy trapped in the vicinity of a r...
