Omni-directional acoustic wave source interactions with a rough seabed with a continuously varying density and sound speed in a fluid-like sediment layer. The acoustic properties in the sediment layer possess an exponential type of variation in density and one of the three classes of sound speed profiles, which are constant,~$k^2$-linear, or inverse-square variations. Analytical solution of mean field. The mean field reflection coefficients corresponding to the aforementioned density and sound speed profiles for various frequencies, roughness parameters, are numberically generated and analyzed. Physical interpretations are provided for various results. This simple model characterizes two important features of sea floor, including seabed roughness, sediment inhomogenieties, therefore, provide a canonical analysis in seabed acoustics.
