地声学是一门研究海底沉积物声学特性的学科，也是一门用声学方法研究海底沉积物地学特性的学科，地声学的发展和水声学、海洋学、地质学、地球物理学及地理学等多个学科有密切的关系，对于海洋工程建设，海底资源开发及港口、航道和海防等各项海洋事业的发展重要的实用意义，文章简单介绍了国内外在地声学方面的一些工作情况，说明了地声学研究所涉及的一些主要问题，并对我国今后开展研究的方向以及应当采取的措施提出一些建议和设  

Geoacoustic Inversion Based on a Vector Hydrophone Array

We propose a geoacoustic inversion scheme employing a vector hydrophone array based on the fact that vector hydrophone can provide more acoustic field information than traditional pressure hydrophones. Firstly, the transmission loss of particle velocities is discussed. Secondly, the sediment sound speed is acquired by a matchedfield processing （MFP） procedure, which is the optimization in combination of the pressure field and vertical particle velocity field. Finally, the bottom attenuation is estimated from the transmission loss difference between the vertical particle velocity and the pressure. The inversion method based on the vector hydrophone array mainly has two advantages： One is that the MFP method based on vector field can decrease the uncertain estimation of the sediment sound speed. The other is that the objective function based on the transmission loss difference has good sensitivity to the sediment attenuation and the inverted sediment attenuation is independent of source level. The validity of the inverted parameters is examined by comparison of the numerical results with the experimental data.  

Geodesic Acoustic Mode in Toroidally Axisymmetric Plasmas with Non-Circular Cross Sections

The geodesic acoustic mode in general toroidally axisymmetric plasmas such as Tokamak and spherical torus is studied in detail. The mode structure is found and the dispersion equation is derived and solved for arbitrary toroidally axi-symmetric plasmas. Besides the finite aspect ratio, effects of elongation and triangularity on this mode are clarified.

Geoacoustic inversion based on reflection model of effective density fluid approximation

In order to obtain the physical and geoacoustic properties of marine sediments,an inverse method using reflection loss of different grazing angles is presented.The reflection loss is calculated according to the reflection model of effective density fluid approximation.A two-step hybrid optimization algorithm combining differential evolution and particle swarm optimization along with Bayesian inversion is employed in estimation of porosity,mean grain size,mass density and bulk modulus of grains.Based on the above physical parameters,geoacoustic parameters,including sound speed and attenuation,are further calculated.According to the numerical simulations,we can draw a conclusion that all the parameters can be well estimated with the exception of bulk modulus of grains.In particular,this indirect inverse method for bottom geoacoustic parameters performs high accuracy and strong robustness.The relative errors are 0.092%and 17%,respectively.Finally,measured reflection loss data of sandy sediments at the bottom of a water tank is analyzed,and the estimation value,uncertainty and correlation of each parameter are presented.The availability of this inverse method is verified through comparison between inverse results and part of measured parameters.  

Low-Frequency Hydroacoustic Experiments on the Shelf Using the Data of Geoacoustic Sediment Model

Acoustic and seismoacoustic methods have become the most perspective and intensely developed meth- ods in the research of dynamic processes and inho- mogeneities in shallow water. Seismoacoustic moni- toring allows one to draw conclusions about the pres- ence of different inhomogeneities in the water environ- ment and to identify various dynamic processes in the oceanic shelf zone. Studies of the propagation of hy- droacoustic signals of different frequencies and config- urations are widely discussed in scientific publications in Russia, China and the United States Solutions to inversion problems in acoustics, the con- struction of geoacoustic models and research of low- frequency acoustic signals with respect to the absorb- ing bottom are without any doubt at the forefront of underwater acoustics.
