考虑噪声源深度分布的海洋环境噪声模型及地声参数反演

考虑到海洋环境噪声源深度分布不集中,建立了噪声源随深度分布的海洋环境噪声模型,分析了源深度对噪声场垂向特征的影响并从简正波角度予以解释,发现海底声阻抗和声源深度都显著影响由海洋环境噪声获得的等效海底反射损失大掠射角部分,进而将该模型用于地声参数反演.两段实测噪声数据200—525 Hz频段的反演结果表明:基于海洋环境噪声的地声参数反演最优值与声传播的反演结果相近;源平均深度最优值随频率增加有变小的趋势,说明随频率增加环境噪声主要贡献源逐渐由航船转为风浪;当海况大于3级时,400 Hz以上频段噪声源深度平均值很小,与Monahan气泡理论的描述一致.

Ocean ambient noise model considering depth distribution of source and geo-acoustic inversion

An ocean ambient noise model is established considering source depth distribution. The model is used to analyze the effect of source depth on the vertical characteristics of ambient noise field. The analyses are explained and validated by normal mode theory. The energy of normal mode excited changes with source depth. Effects of different order normal modes are different. The high order modes raise up the equivalent seabed reflection loss, whereas the low order modes depress it. It is found that the seabed sound speed, density and source depth all have significant influences on equivalent seabed reflection loss at large grazing angles. So the source depth should be taken into account and the model is used in geo-acoustic inversion. Two sets of experimental data in a bandwidth of 200-525 Hz are used to obtain geo-acoustic parameters. The results show that the geo-acoustic parameters inverted from ocean ambient noise and from sound propagation data are similar. The mean value of inverted source depth tends to be smaller as frequency increases, which demonstrates that wind waves become dominant over ship noise. The average of inverted source depth values in the band(>400 Hz) is very small when sea state is higher than grade 3, which is consistent with the result from the Monahan's bubble theory.
