Figure 6. Sample segment of a 300-MHz profile (top) and the result of apply-
ing a background removal filter (bottom). The arrows indicate strong targets.
The short filter window required to alleviate the erratic character of the back-
ground noise decreases the prominence of the target responses.

Figure 7. Selected target responses within segments extracted from the 300-MHz profiles, and
sample traces containing diffracted or reflected wavelets (darkened areas). The distances along
each transect are shown at the top of the segments. Each segment is 500 traces long, and trace
number is indicated on the sample traces. The lower horizontal scale is in 100-trace incre-
ments. The depth scale is based on an ε′ of 10.4.
