determination of the bubble size spectrum in the sea using an inverse acoustics method. The
mathematical model is introduced and limits of its numerical solution are discussed.
Theoretical considerations lead to ill-posed system of integral equations and the system of
linear equations resulting from a discretization process is solved using the Tikhonov
regularization method. A mathematical model is tested for a power-law bubble size
distribution. Some examples of theoretical studies related to this problem are provided.
Practical applications of the bubble population determination algorithm on the basis of
collected in situ empirical data concerning sound speed and attenuation are given.
