用定深爆炸声源反演海底声学参数

根据2014年在南中国海开展声学试验的定深爆炸宽带声信号数据进行海底地声参数反演.考虑到不同海底声参数对不同声场物理参数的敏感程度不同以及不同海底声参数对不同反演方法的敏感程度亦不同,综合应用2种反演方法得到不同底质声参数:(1)根据接收的直达波和海底反射波计算得到关注海域的海底反射系数进而反演得到海底声阻抗;(2)实验海区的海底地形为大陆坡,选取Hamilton总结的关于沉积物声速与沉积物密度关系的经验公式,结合沉积物声阻抗与沉积物声速、沉积物密度的关系,进而反演得到沉积物声速和沉积物密度.沉积物声学参数的取样测量是在实验室条件下进行的,温度为23℃,大气压1×105Pa,由于沉积物孔隙海水是决定沉积物声速的关键且受温度压强变化的影响显著,本研究利用沉积物声速与孔隙海水声速的比值即使在温度压强变化的情况下较稳定的特点,可对沉积物声速在实验室条件和海底原位条件进行校正.校正到海底温度和压强后,反演结果与沉积物取样的实测结果和Hamilton总结的结果吻合得相当好:(1)声阻抗的反演结果为2.065 6×10~5g/(cm2·s),修正后的沉积物取样结果则为2.046 0×10~5g/(cm~2·s),Hamilton总结的结果为2.238 0×10~5g/(cm~2·s);(2)声速的反演结果为1 482.6m/s,修正后的沉积物取样结果为1 467.5 m/s,Hamilton总结的结果为1 502.8 m/s;(3)密度的反演结果为1.393 2 g/cm3,沉积物取样结果为1.400 0 g/cm~3,Hamilton总结的结果为1.489 0 g/cm3.

基于Sobol法的海底反向散射模型参数敏感度分析

为了对海底声学参数反演中的估计精度做出预估,合理解释反演结果,本文基于Jackson海底声散射模型,利用Sobol算法,对该模型中的耗散系数、速度比等7个参数进行定量的敏感度分析。Sobol算法可以给出参数的一阶敏感度和参数间相互作用的敏感度,适用于分析散射强度的影响因子。仿真结果表明,所选择的声波频率对于参数的敏感度影响不大,模型各参数交互作用较为强烈,速度比的全局敏感度最大,而耗散系数敏感度很小。将参数划分为地声属性参数、粗糙度参数和非均匀性参数,地声属性参数敏感度最大。模型参数敏感度分析结果对于反演有一定的指导作用。     

菲律宾海深海海底沉积物声学特性与物理性质相关关系

为研究深海海底沉积物声学特性与物理性质相关关系,于2016年11月在实验室对水深3164～5 592 m的菲律宾海深海海底沉积物柱状样品的声学特性进行测量,获取了沉积物声速、声速比、声阻抗、声阻抗指数等声学特性参数。结合沉积物的孔隙度和密度等物理性质参数,分析了海底沉积物声速、声速比、声阻抗、声阻抗指数与孔隙度、密度的相关关系,建立了该海域海底沉积物声学特性回归方程。研究结果表明:研究区深海数据与浅海回归方程符合度较差,与深海回归方程符合度较好;Hamilton校正方法有助于修正实验室测量引起的温度和压力误差,声速比与Hamilton方程符合度比声速好;声阻抗和声阻抗指数与物理性质参数的相关性优于声速和声速比。此外,研究认为由于海底沉积物的沉积环境较为复杂,其声学特性回归方程存在差异。由于上述差异的存在,在使用基于不同海域数据建立的回归方程进行海底沉积物声学特性预测时,应加以区别对待。该研究丰富了深海海底沉积物声学数据,对促进深海海底沉积物声学深入研究具有一定的借鉴意义。

多波束测深海底混响仿真研究

海底混响是海洋混响的重要组成部分,采用模拟仿真进行验证分析,是仿真技术的一项重要应用。采用单元散射模型,研究在单发射阵元下,分布在同一直线上多个接收阵元接收的海底回波,忽略声波传播的相位起伏,只考虑振幅起伏,将传播损失、声吸收系数、海底反射损失、海底沉积层密度等参数带入海底混响仿真数学模型,仿真海底混响,使其更加接近海底的实际情况。

浅海聚焦定位中简化地声模型的应用研究

为了提高定位算法的环境宽容性,聚焦法将环境参数纳入了寻优空间。聚焦法虽然降低了对环境测量的要求,但是反演参数的增加也增加了反演的复杂性。基于海底反射特性,用两个参数对海底进行建模。通过标准的反演测试问题对简化地声模型在浅海聚焦定位中的有效性进行了分析。结果表明:基于简化地声模型的聚焦定位是可行的。在获得正确定位结果的同时,随着地声参数个数的减少,匹配场处理的便捷性得到了提高。文中引入的简化地声模型是聚焦问题中参数最少的地声模型,它可以有效减少聚焦定位参数维数以提升反演的便捷性。同时,简化地声模型在参数敏感性和耦合性上有较好的表现,这些优点可以保证定位结果的稳健性。     

Acoustic density measurements of consolidating cohesive sediment beds by means of a non-intrusive “Micro-Chirp” acoustic system

A non-intrusive “Micro-Chirp” acoustic system and a signal-processing protocol have been developed to estimate the bulk density of consolidating cohesive sediment beds. Using high-frequency (300–700 kHz) Chirp acoustic waves, laboratory measurements were conducted with clay–water mixtures. Because acoustic echo strength is proportional to variations in acoustic impedance, and the speed of sound in the clay bed hardly changed during consolidation, the bulk density could be successfully estimated without disturbing the sediment bed. Based on acoustic signal analysis, this study demonstrates that the reflection coefficient and bulk density at the water–sediment interface increase with consolidation time, and that a single speed of sound value can be used for practical bulk density estimation in muddy environments.     

Investigation of the relationship between seafloor echo strength and sediment type—a case study in Jiaozgou Bay,China

In recent years, increasing attention is being given to investigating the relationships between seafloor echo strength and sediment type. This aspect was assessed in a course of a marine survey conducted in Jiaozhou Bay near the city of Qingdao, China, where various sediment types are known to exist. Multi-beam echo data and sediment samples were acquired, processed and analyzed. The findings demonstrate that multi-beam echo strengths are strongly related to seabed types such as rock, sand and clay. Thus, echo strength increases progressively with the increase in sand content in gravely, sandy, and clayey sediments. However, echo strength is more sensitive to changes in sand content in fine-grained sediment and less sensitive in coarse-grained sediment. Also, high shell content of sediments greatly enhances the acoustic reflection. These findings help to predict seafloor sediment types by analyzing echo strength.     

A programmable microcomputer-based sonar echo processor for real-time processing

A programmable microcomputer-based sonar echo processor has been developed and field tested to process echo data in real time. The device was designed for use in fisheries acoustics and to analyze echoes from the sea floor. The instrument simultaneously performs the functions "echo integration" and "echo peak detection' on the sonar signal. The "echo integration" circuitry measures the relative acoustic energy of the echo while the "echo peak detection' electronics measure the probability density function (PDF) of the peak of the echo envelope. Each process is gated so the echoes may be processed in many short time intervals. In fisheries applications, estimates can be made of fish density (fish per unit volume), average backscattering cross section, and a combination of fish size and behavior. When using the device to analyze bottom echoes, it is possible to measure both the returned energy from the bottom sediment interfaces and the microrelief characteristics. The durability, flexibility, computer link, and floppy-disk data-storage features of the system are discussed. Data are presented of the processed echoes from biological organisms and the ocean bottom from a recent research cruise on the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Hatteras, NC. The biological results illustrated the organisms to be clearly divided into two separate spatial distributions-an observation not obvious from a standard echogram which was simultaneously used. The results from the bottom showed both 1) the difference in sub-bottom structure between two locations and 2) changes in microrelief of the water-bottom interface between another pair of locations.

Sediment transport near the Tauranga entrance to Tauranga Harbour

Abstract

Sediment transport at the Tauranga Entrance was studied in relation to tidal currents and waves. Bedforms resulting from tidal flow were investigated with scuba divers and echo‐soundings. The alignment and scale of bedforms indicated the direction and approximate rate of sediment transport. Sediment transport was measured directly using sediment traps, and results were compared with rates calculated by another method. Maximum sediment transport rates of 20 000–30 000 g.m^?1 per half tidal cycle occur near the inlet gorge, but rates vary considerably in time and space, depending mainly upon power of tidal currents. A model of sediment transport for this inlet has been evolved based on tidal flow streamlines, bedform features, and the measured and calculated rates of sediment transport.     

小尺度海底沉积物的声衰减特性研究

为研究小尺度海底沉积物样品的声衰减特性,作者提出了用声学探针测量海底沉积物声波幅值的新方法,对沉积物样品扰动小,两个测量点的距离可小于波长,为海底沉积物微观声衰减测量提供了新手段。作者用小于波长的间隔逐点测量了沉积物的压缩波幅值,数据分析表明沿沉积物柱状样全长的声衰减满足指数衰减模型。目前主要用同轴差距衰减测量法获得海底沉积物声衰减数据,但该方法不能辨识声衰减模型,因此不同海区的测量结果难以建立联系。对此作者又提出用声吸收系数反演的幅值比与声衰减系数反演的R值(两种幅值比的比值)作评价依据,分析了垂直轴差距衰减测量法获得的南海海底沉积物声衰减测量数据,发现部分沉积物样品声衰减的R值远大于1,其声衰减不满足指数衰减模型。在声衰减满足指数衰减模型的条件下,用Hamilton的声衰减和频率经验公式预报的南海沉积物声衰减比与作者用声学探针测量海底沉积物所得的声衰减比对比,通过对R值分析得出Hamilton的声衰减和频率经验公式可以预报南海沉积物声衰减比的范围。作者提出的声学探针测量海底沉积物声衰减的方法的优点是既能获得声衰减数据又能辨识声衰减模型,不同海区测量的沉积物声衰减比可用R值建立联系。     

ADCP application for long-term monitoring of coastal water

Three kind of application of ADCP is reported for long-term monitoring in coastal sea. (1)The routine monitoring of water qualities. The water quality and ADCP echo data (600 kHz) observed in the long-term are analgzed at MT (Marine Tower) Station of Kansai International Airport in the Osaka Bay, Japan. The correlation between the turbidity and echo intensity in the surface layer is not good because air bubbles generated by breaking wave are not detected by the turbidity meter, but detected well by ADCP. When estimating the turbidity consists ofplankrton population from echo intensity, the effect of bubbles have to be eliminated. (2) Monitoring stirring up of bottom sediment. The special observation was carried out by using following two ADCP in the Osaka Bay, One ADCP was installed upward on the sea. The other ADCP was hanged downward at the gate type stand about 3 m above from the bottom. At the spring tide, high echo intensities indicating the stirring up of bottom sediment were observed. (3) The monitoring for the boundary condition of water mixing at an estuary. In summer season, the ADCP was set at the mouth of Tanabe Bay in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. During the observation, water temperature near the bottom showed remarkable falls with interval of about 5～7d. When the bottom temperature fell, the inflow current with low echo intensity water appears at the bottom layer in the ADCP record. It is concluded that when occasional weak northeast wind makes weak coastal upwelling at the mouth of the bay, the combination ofupwelling with internal tidal flow causes remarkable water exchange and dispels the red tide.
