Features determining compensation of counter energy flows in acoustic fields of the ocean

The phenomenon of compensation of counteracoustic energy flows in the ocean was studied using the example of superposition of acoustic fields of a moving vessel and of the surface noise of a tropical shower using combined receivers at depths of 150 and 500 m. We demonstrate that comparison of the z-component of the spectrum of function of simple one-point coherence or the z-component of the cross-spectrum with the spectrum of phase difference between the acoustic pressure and the z-component of the vibrational speed is sufficient for unambiguous determination of the process of compensation. The criteria are the “dips” of the coherence function in a frequency range, common to these fields, which correspond to the jumps of the phase difference by ± (π/2).
