Scholte waves at the seafloor have significant potential for underwater detection and communication, so a study about detecting Scholte waves is very meaningful in practice. In this paper, the detection of Scholte waves at the seafloor is researched theoretically and experimentally. Acoustic models with the multilayer elastic bottom are established according to the ocean environment, and a tank experiment is designed and carried out to detect Scholte waves. Different from detecting Scholte waves in the seismic wavefield, a technique for detecting Scholte waves in the sound pressure field is proposed in this paper. The experimental results show that the proposed technique can detect Scholte waves effectively, and there are no problems such as seabed coupling and the effect of wave speeds. Furthermore, the results also show that this detection technique is still effective in conditions with a sediment layer. The existence of sediment layers changes the acoustic field conditions and affects the excitation of Scholte waves.
