浅海中内波对匹配场时间相关的影响

利用一次夏季浅海水文实验资料,数值仿真研究有线性内波和孤立子内波存在条件下的匹配场时间相关性.考察和总结了有内波存在时不同声源频率、声源深度和内波幅度等参数对匹配场时间相关的影响.研究结果表明:由于内波与声场的相互作用,匹配场时间相关长度会随着线性内波的平均能流密度及孤立子内波幅度的增大而减小;频率越高,声波穿过内波场时的匹配场时间相关下降的越快;声源位于跃层下时的匹配场时间相关明显的优于跃层上的情况;孤立子内波距声源的位置对匹配场时间相关影响相对较小.     

南中国海存在孤立子内波条件下的声场时间相关半径

在动态的海洋环境中,由于数据向量和拷贝场之间的失配,匹配场处理器的性能会发生退化。数据向量的时间相关半径是这种退化的一种量度。通过2001年ASIAEX南海实验中垂直阵上水听器接收到的声场数据求取了400 Hz窄带信号的声场时间相关。从实验数据处理结果观察到,伴随着传播路径上非线性内波的进入,声场的时间相关半径减小。同时利用一个二维的平流冻结海洋模型和传播路径上三个温度链的温度数据对声场进行了数值仿真,分析了不同频率下的声场时间相关半径。结果表明:实验结果与仿真的400 Hz信号的声场时间相关较为一致。可见,在时变的海洋环境下,声信道中存在孤立子内波将会使声场的时间相关半径大大缩短。

大陆坡内波环境中声传播模态耦合及强度起伏特征

大陆坡海域内波普遍存在,其陆坡地形和内波过程都会引起显著的声场起伏.已有研究工作主要关注内波或大陆坡单扰动因子对模态耦合和强度起伏的影响,少见将内波和海底地形起伏同时作为影响因子进行研究.文章考虑孤立子内波和海底地形对声传播的双重影响,首先构建海洋波导模型,然后基于简正波理论数值对比分析各波导模型条件下模态的耦合规律,进而研究声场强度起伏特性及其物理机理.研究结果表明,当声波朝向或远离内波中心传播时,模态耦合在内波与大陆坡的共同作用下出现耦合增强或衰减,高号模态耦合系数振荡;内波扰动的作用使得能量由低号模态耦合至高号模态,提高了声场强度衰减;斜坡的作用使得声波下坡传播时,波导模态数增加、模态强度衰减降低;大陆坡内波环境中的模态强度总和大于内波环境、小于大陆坡环境,且模态组间的能量转移比只有内波或者大陆坡时更强,高号模态从耦合中获得更多能量,使得跃层以上水层能量增强.

深远海线性内波条件下声场时间相关性的空间分布

深海声场特定的干涉结构导致其时间相关性的空间起伏,研究这种空间特性可以为水声信号的探测与处理提供重要参考。利用抛物方程声场仿真模型,联合Monte-Carlo数值方法计算分析了深远海线性内波条件下声场时间相关性的空间分布特性。与现有的研究相比,给出了时间相关性的距离和深度起伏特征。结果表明,当接收达到一定距离,声场时间相关性的空间分布具有与声场干涉条纹类似的结构,声场干涉越强,时间相关性越好。此外,声源频率和声速标准差的变化会引起时间相关性空间分布规律的改变,且会聚区传播模式下的改变强于深海声道传播模式。      

浅海中孤立子内波引起的声能量起伏

当孤立子内波的波阵面与声传播路径所成角度较大时,简正波耦合是导致声信号起伏的主要因素。研究了浅海中孤立子内波引起的声能量起伏规律,给出声场起伏的耦合简正波表达式,并使用抛物方程模型进行仿真。数值分析表明,接收点声强随时间变化呈准周期性。在频谱图中能够得到声强起伏的主导频率,主导频率与孤立子内波沿声传播路径的移动速度成正比,与无扰动波导中简正波在距离上的干涉周期(对应于射线理论中临界声线的跨度)成反比,与孤立子内波的形状无关。此外,对声强频谱的垂直结构进行了分析,该结构与对声场起伏起主要作用简正波的本征函数相关。

The effects of the internal waves on temporal correlation of matched-field processing in shallow water

Effects of linear and solitary internal waves on the temporal correlation of matched-field processing(MFP) in shallow water are numerically investigated for acoustic sources with different frequencies and depths based on oceanographic data from an experiment.It is shown that the temporal correlation of MFP decreases as the amplitude of solitary internal waves or the average energy density of linear internal waves increases.For acoustic source with lower frequency or located below the thermocline,the temp...     

Analysis and modeling of broadband airgun data influenced by nonlinear internal waves

To investigate acoustic effects of nonlinear internal waves, the two southwest tracks of the SWARM 95 experiment are considered. An airgun source produced broadband acoustic signals while a packet of large nonlinear internal waves passed between the source and two vertical linear arrays. The broadband data and its frequency range (10-180 Hz) distinguish this study from previous work. Models are developed for the internal wave environment, the geoacoustic parameters, and the airgun source signature. Parabolic equation simulations demonstrate that observed variations in intensity and wavelet time-frequency plots can be attributed to nonlinear internal waves. Empirical tests are provided of the internal wave-acoustic resonance condition that is the apparent theoretical mechanism responsible for the variations. Peaks of the effective internal wave spectrum are shown to coincide with differences in dominant acoustic wavenumbers comprising the airgun signal. The robustness of these relationships is investigated by simulations for a variety of geoacoustic and nonlinear internal wave model parameters.

Frequency shifts of the sound field interference pattern in shallow water because of second-mode soliton-like internal waves

Numerical simulation is carried out to analyze the effect of an internal soliton of the second gravity mode on low-frequency sound propagation in an oceanic shelf region. The simulation is performed using the data of a full-scale experiment performed on the shelf of the South China Sea near Dongsha atoll, where the aforementioned solitons had been detected by stationary vertical thermistor arrays. The calculations take into account the effect of horizontal refraction of sound waves. It is assumed that a stationary acoustic track is oriented across the predominant propagation direction of internal waves. The results of simulation show that, when the soliton crosses the stationary track, some of the sound field modes are focused, whereas other modes are defocused. It is demonstrated that the soliton parameters can be adequately determined from the frequency shifts of the sound field interference pattern. However, such an estimate of the soliton parameters is only possible for a limited length of the stationary track for which the effect of horizontal refraction is sufficiently weak.     

Acoustic normal mode fluctuation statistics in the 1995 SWARM internal wave scattering experiment

In order to understand the fluctuations imposed upon low frequency (50 to 500 Hz) acoustic signals due to coastal internal waves, a large multilaboratory, multidisciplinary experiment was performed in the Mid-Atlantic Bight in the summer of 1995. This experiment featured the most complete set of environmental measurements (especially physical oceanography and geology) made to date in support of a coastal acoustics study. This support enabled the correlation of acoustic fluctuations to clearly observed ocean processes, especially those associated with the internal wave field. More specifically, a 16 element WHOI vertical line array (WVLA) was moored in 70 m of water off the New Jersey coast. Tomography sources of 224 Hz and 400 Hz were moored 32 km directly shoreward of this array, such that an acoustic path was constructed that was anti-parallel to the primary, onshore propagation direction for shelf generated internal wave solitons. These nonlinear internal waves, produced in packets as the tide shifts from ebb to flood, produce strong semidiurnal effects on the acoustic signals at our measurement location. Specifically, the internal waves in the acoustic waveguide cause significant coupling of energy between the propagating acoustic modes, resulting in broadband fluctuations in modal intensity, travel-time, and temporal coherence. The strong correlations between the environmental parameters and the internal wave field include an interesting sensitivity of the spread of an acoustic pulse to solitons near the receiver.     

Nonlinear theory of electrostatic baryonic waves in ambiplasma

A collisionless nonmagnetized ambiplasma consisting of Maxwellian gases of protons, antiprotons, electrons, and positrons is considered. The dispersion relation for electrostatic baryonic waves is derived and analyzed and exact expressions for the linear wave phase velocities are obtained. Two types of such waves are shown to be possible in ambiplasma: acoustic and plasma ones. Analysis of the dispersion relation has allowed the ranges of parameters in which nonlinear solutions should be sought in the form of solitons to be found. A nonlinear theory of baryonic waves is developed and used to obtain and analyze the exact solution to the basic equations. The analysis is performed by the method of a fictitious potential. The ranges of phase velocities of periodic baryonic waves and soliton velocities (Mach numbers) are determined. It is shown that in the plasma under consideration, these ranges do not overlap and that the soliton velocity cannot be lower than the linear velocity of the corresponding wave. The profiles of physical quantities in a periodic wave and a soliton (wave scores) are plotted.
