The design of very high resolution (VHR) 3D marine surveys not only depends on the theoretical considerations of seismic imaging,
but is also dictated by the field conditions and the available budget. The main geophysical controlling factors include the
depth and dip of the target, and horizontal and vertical resolution. Working in shallow water environments and at high frequencies
will imply constraints on sampling, array directivity and positioning accuracy. In this paper we describe the main requirements
and constraints involved in VHR 3D acquisition. The second part of the paper focuses on the flexible acquisition system “Opus3D”
recently developed for shallow water investigations. The system provides improvements in imaging resolution in a relatively
simple and cost-effective way. Acquisition and positioning constraints limit the system to nearshore studies. The experience
gained from various surveys with this new acquisition system allow us to formulate a number of practical specifications and
guidelines for 3D survey design in shallow water. 相似文献

A seismic reflection profiling system utilising a surface air gun source and a deep-towed horizontal hydrophone streamer has been developed for high resolution studies in the deep ocean. The instrument is deployed on a conventional armoured single conductor cable at depths of up to 6 km. Seismic data from the 30 m long streamer is wide-band frequency modulated up the towing cable to the ship together with a high frequency monitor from a 3.5 kHz echo-sounder mounted on the instrument package. The geometry of the system allows an order of magnitude improvement in spatial resolution compared with that obtained from standard surface source/receiver configurations. The summed hydrophones of the streamer attenuate cable-generated mechanical noise, and the 3.5 kHz sea-surface and bottom reflected returns provide receiver positioning information. The system has been successfully deployed at depths of 5 km in the Vema Fracture Zone in the North Atlantic, and although initially difficulties were experienced in balancing the streamer, subsequent profiles across the transform fault show details of sub-bottom structure which on conventional surface records are generally masked by diffraction hyperbolae. 相似文献

An acoustic correlation current profiler (ACCP) system is being developed to obtain vertical profiles of current velocities to ranges of approximately 1500 m. A single transmitter and a spatial array of eight receivers arranged in a novel geometry are employed to measure water mass displacement from receiver array cross-correlation functions. Test data from a shallow water ACCP operating at 76.8 kHz are presented and compared to model predictions as well as to velocity profiles obtained simultaneously during the tests from an adjacent acoustic Doppler current profiler. Additionally, predicted performance data for a lower frequency deep-water unit are presented 相似文献

This paper studies passive problems where the receiver extracts from the source radiated signature information concerning the parameters defining the relative source/receiver geometry. A model encompassing the fundamental global and local characteristics for passive positioning and navigation is presented. It considers narrow-band signals, imposes linear constraints on the geometry, and exhibits explicitly the symmetry between the space and time aspects. The analysis concentrates on questions of global geometry identifiability, emphasizing the passive global range acquisition. The maximum-likelihood processor is analyzed by studying the ambiguity structure associated with inhomogeneous passive narrowband tracking. Bounds on the global and local mean-square error performance are studied and tested via Monte Carlo simulations. By considering two limiting geometries, a distant and a close observer, simple approximate expressions for the mean-square errors are presented and compared to the exact bounds. Herein the study is restricted to stationary geometries where the source is located by an extended array (spatial diversity). Subsequent papers generalize the study to moving sources (temporal diversity) and to coupled geometries. 相似文献

An inversion method using a towed system consisting of a source and two receivers is presented. High-frequency chirp signals that have been emitted from the source are received after multiple penetrations and reflections from the shallow water sub-bottom structure and are processed for geoacoustical parameter estimation. The data are processed such that a good resolution and robustness is achieved via matched filtering, which requires information about the source signal. The inversion is formulated as an optimization problem, which maximizes the cost function defined as a normalized correlation between the measured and modeled signals directly in the time domain. The very fast simulated reannealing optimization method is applied to the global search problem. The modeled time signal is obtained using a ray approach. An experiment was carried out in the Mediterranean Sea using a towed source and receiver system. The inversion method is applied to the experimental data and results are found to be consistent with previous frequency-domain analyses using measurements from a towed horizontal array of receivers and measurements on a vertical array. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Development of a System for 3D High-resolution Seismic Reflection Profiling on Lakes 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
A high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) seismic reflection system for small-scale targets in lacustrine settings has been
developed. Its main characteristics include navigation and shot-triggering software that fires the seismic source at regular
distance intervals (max. error of 0.25 m) with real-time control on navigation using differential GPS (Global Positioning
System). Receiver positions are accurately calculated (error<0.20 m) with the aid of GPS antennas attached to the end of each
of three 24-channel streamers. Two telescopic booms hold the streamers at a distance of 7.5 m from each other. With a receiver
spacing of 2.5 m, the bin dimension is 1.25 m in inline and 3.75 m in crossline direction. To test the system, we conducted
a 3D survey of about 1 km2 in Lake Geneva, Switzerland, over a complex fault zone. A 5-m shot spacing resulted in a nominal fold of 6. A double-chamber
bubble-cancelling 15/15 in3 air gun (40–650 Hz) operated at 80 bars and 1 m depth gave a signal penetration of 300 m below water bottom and a best vertical
resolution of 1.1 m. Processing followed a conventional scheme, but had to be adapted to the high sampling rates, and our
unconventional navigation data needed conversion to industry standards. The high-quality data enabled us to construct maps
of seismic horizons and fault surfaces in three dimensions. The system proves to be well adapted to investigate complex structures
by providing non-aliased images of reflectors with dips up to 30°. 相似文献

A detailed analysis of high-resolution seismic data (Chirp, 2–7 kHz) in the Ulleung Basin reveals spatial variation in echo
characteristics and geometry of large-scale debris lobes. In the proximal part, the debris lobes are dominated by hummocky
surface echoes and gradually transitional downslope to seafloor-tangent hyperbolic and smooth prolonged bottom echoes, reflecting
progressive decrease in size, spacing, and relief of surface forms. The strongly convex-upward upper surface with steep blunt
margins in the proximal part is gradually transitional downslope to slightly convex- upward or nearly flat form with less
blunt margins. The gradual downslope decrease in both scale and spacing of surface forms and convexity of upper surface within
each debris lobe is suggestive of progressive dilution in flow concentration within a debris flow, probably due to mixing
of ambient water and removal of suspended sediment by deposition during downslope movement.

Determinations of acoustic scattering strength for sand bottoms have been made at several different shallow-water areas under downward refracting sound propagation conditions in the frequency decade below 1 kHz. The measurements have been made using explosive sources detonated at mid-water depth and bottom-mounted vertical and horizontal hydrophone line arrays as receivers. The ubiquitous presence of multipaths in shallow water prevents a direct-path scattering geometry, and scattering strength must be extracted from the full reverberation field, which complicates the determination of bottom grazing angle dependence of scattering. The major focus of this paper has been the variation of scattering strength with frequency (integrated over participating bottom angles), though estimates of the angular dependence of scattering strength have been made using the vertical receiving array. Typically the integrated scattering strength for sand bottoms reported (and elsewhere) are found to decrease below 1 kHz and in some instances to exhibit a minimum in the several hundred hertz range. Sand bottom scattering strengths below 1 kHz are significantly lower than those predicted by the Mackenzie formula and the limited angular dependence determinations have been found to be consistent with Lambert's law 相似文献

Chirp sub-bottom profilers are marine sonar systems which use a highly repeatable source signature to facilitate the acquisition of correlated data with decimetre vertical resolution in the top 20–30 m of sediments. Source signatures can be readily developed and implemented, but an applicable methodology for assessing resolution and attenuation characteristics of these wide-band systems did not exist. Methodologies are developed and applied to seven contrasting source signatures which occupy the same frequency band, but differ in their Envelope and Instantaneous Frequency functions. For the Chirp source signatures tested, a Sine-Squared envelope function is shown to produce seismic data with the optimum resolution and penetration characteristics. 相似文献

The Pasisar seismic acquisition system combines a source at the sea surface and a deep-towed single channel streamer. This unconventional device geometry reduces the width of the first Fresnel zone which increases the lateral resolution. However, the device acquisition geometry generates artifacts on seismic profiles and induces large incidence angles of the seismic signal. A specific processing sequence must be applied to the data to obtain a readable seismic section. Penetration of the seismic signal depends on the energy of the signal reaching the seafloor and on its incidence angle. Because of smaller source energy, 800 Joules Sparker data cannot be acquired in water depth larger than 1500 m for example, whereas there is no depth limit for the use of this system with air gun sources. Differential acoustic absorption of seismic frequencies (below 1000 Hz) in the water column is negligible when compared with wave fronts expansion. Thus, the horizontal resolution of any seismic system strongly depends on the frequency spectrum of the seismic source and on the travel distances. Pasisar and conventional seismic profiles being usually simultaneously recorded, we illustrate the interest of using a hybrid seismic device by comparing horizontal resolutions as well as signal-to-noise ratio obtained with both the Pasisar and conventional systems. In addition, by carefully picking time arrivals of a reflection on simultaneously recorded surface and deep-towed seismic records, it is possible to estimate the average interval seismic velocity. We present the simplified example of a horizontal reflector. 相似文献

Two harbor porpoises in a floating pen were subjected to five pure tone underwater signals of 70 or 120kHz with different signal durations, amplitudes and duty cycles (% of time sound is produced). Some signals were continuous, others were intermittent (duty cycles varied between 8% and 100%). The effect of each signal was judged by comparing the animals' surfacing locations and number of surfacings (i.e. number of respirations) during test periods with those during baseline periods. In all cases, both porpoises moved away from the sound source, but the effect of the signals on respiration rates was negligible. Pulsed 70kHz signals with a source level (SL) of 137dB had a similar effect as a continuous 70kHz signal with an SL of 148dB (re 1muPa, rms). Also, a pulsed 70kHz signal with an SL of 147dB had a much stronger deterring effect than a continuous 70kHz signal with a similar SL. For pulsed 70kHz signals (2s pulse duration, 4s pulse interval, SL 147dB re 1muPa, rms), the avoidance threshold sound pressure level (SPL), in the context of the present study, was estimated to be around 130dB (re 1muPa, rms) for porpoise 064 and around 124dB (re 1muPa, rms) for porpoise 047. This study shows that ultrasonic pingers (70kHz) can deter harbor porpoises. Such ultrasonic pingers have the advantage that they do not have a "dinner bell" effect on pinnipeds, and probably have no, or less, effect on other marine fauna, which are often sensitive to low frequency sounds. 相似文献

Chirp frequency-modulated (FM) systems offer deterministic, repeatable source-signatures for high-resolution, normal incidence marine seismic reflection data acquisition. An optimal processing sequence for uncorrelated Chirp data is presented to demonstrate the applicability of some conventional seismic reflection algorithms to high-resolution data sets, and to emphasise the importance of a known source-signature. An improvement of greater than 60dB in the signal- to-noise ratio is realised from correlating the FM reflection data with the transmitted pulse. Interpretability of ringy deconvolved data is enhanced by the calculation of instantaneous amplitudes. The signal-to-noise ratio and lateral reflector continuity are both improved by the application of predictive filters whose effectiveness are aided by the repeatability of the Chirp source. 相似文献

A basin-scale acoustic tomography simulation is carried out for the northeast Pacific Ocean to determine the accuracy with which time must be kept at the sources when clocks at the receivers are accurate. A sequential Kalman filter is used to estimate sound-speed fluctuations and clock errors. Sound-speed fluctuations in the simulated ocean are estimated from an eddy-resolving hydrodynamic model of the Pacific forced by realistic wind fields at daily resolution from 1981-1993. The model output resembles features associated with El Nino and the Southern Oscillation, as well as many other features of the ocean's circulation. Using a Rossby-wave resolving acoustic array of four fixed sources and twenty drifting receivers, the authors find that the percentage of the modeled ocean's sound-speed variance accounted for with tomography is 92% at 400-km resolution, regardless of the accuracy of the clocks. Clocks which drift up to hundreds of seconds of error or more for a year do not degrade tomographic images of the model ocean. Tomographic reconstructions of the sound-speed field are insensitive to clock error primarily because of the wide variety of distances between the receivers from each source. Every receiver “sees” the same clock error from each source, regardless of section length, but the sound-speed fluctuations in the modeled ocean cannot yield travel times which lead to systematic changes in travel time that are independent of section length. The Kalman filter is thus able to map the sound-speed field accurately in the presence of large errors at the source's clocks 相似文献

Many oceanographic applications require the positioning of the underwater sensor at measurement times. We consider here the case of subsurface moored tomographic instruments, where the distance between source and receiver must be known within a few meters. For that purpose, a long baseline array is deployed: this system includes a navigator, attached to the mooring element and an array of three transponders set on the ocean bottom. To process the navigation data collected with such system, we have developed a method based on optimal estimation. The triangulation problem is not a basic spherical constraints one and the specificity of deep underwater positioning, related to the variability of the ocean sound speed profile are pointed out. Correcting terms are proposed and introduced into the system. Simultaneous inversion of all data, defining an overconstrained problem allows to estimate biases and errors. The algorithm is applied here to a dataset collected in the Azores-Canary basin during CAMBIOS experiment. 相似文献

海洋中声速起伏导致水声信道发生变化,进而引起声线到达结构的变化,对水声传播及定位精度产生一定影响。为讨论这一效应,基于TDOA体制建立了考虑声线弯曲的水下目标无源定位模型,分析了声速起伏对水下声传播路径及传播时间的影响,进而研究了声速起伏对水下无源定位测量精度影响程度。结果表明:当水平传播距离较大时,声速剖面起伏对声传播路径及传播时间的影响更为显著;以典型四元阵为例,若基线长度为20 km,接收阵位于水下5 km处,在不考虑其它随机误差影响下,海洋声速起伏造成的声源定位误差量级在0.5 m以内。分析结果有助于更好地利用环境特征优化无源定位测量方案,可为高精度水下无源定位系统设计及精度评估提供依据。 相似文献

This is the last of a series of three papers studying the theory of passive systems. The model assumes that i) the narrow-band signals are transmitted through a Rayleigh channel, ii) the observing array is geometrically linear, and iii) the source motion is deterministic. Ranging techniques based on synchronized measurements of the travel time delay are precluded by the incoherent phase model considered. The paper explores alternative methods that process the phase modulations induced on the signal by the extended geometry and relative dynamics. The present work applies maximum likelihood theory to design the receiver, being concerned with the global identifiability of all parameters defining the relative source/receiver geometry and dynamics. The emphasis is placed on the passive range global acquisition. In contradistinction with the previous papers, where the time stationarity (Part I) or the space homogeneity (Part II) lead to a one-dimensional processor, here the receiver involves processing over both domains. The paper considers the issues of space/time factorability and coupling arising in nonhomogeneous passive tracking. The cross coupling, resulting in more complex filters, improves the receiver acquisition capability. Resorting to Taylor's series type studies, the paper quantifies these improvements, as well as the receiver's mean square error performance, in terms of intuitively satisfying analytical expressions. 相似文献

An instrumented tetrapod was deployed for three weeks on the Dry Tortugas Bank at a depth of 26 m in February 1995. Bottom
roughness was dominated by shrimp burrows and worm mounds with rms roughness amplitudes ranging from 0.47 to 1.75 cm. Logarithmic
velocity profiles show apparent total roughness heights ranging from 0.30 to 1.45 cm, values consistent with observed biological
roughness. The bed sediments were weakly bound by an algal crust at the sediment–water interface. When this bound layer was
scraped away by a mooring that was accidentally dragged, sharp-crested wave-induced ripples appeared within the resulting
swath. We conclude that physically induced roughness is biologically suppressed, but if dominant, would be significantly higher
than the prevailing biological roughness. 相似文献

The GNSS-Acoustics (GNSS-A) method couples acoustics with GNSS to allow the precise localization of a seafloor reference in a global frame. This method can extend on-shore GNSS networks and allows the monitoring of hazardous oceanic tectonic phenomena. The goal of this study is to test the influence of both acoustics ray tracing techniques and spatial heterogeneities of acoustic wave speed on positioning accuracy. We test three different ray tracing methods: the eikonal method (3D sound speed field), the Snell-Descartes method (2D sound speed profile), and an equivalent sound speed method. We also compare the processing execution time. The eikonal method is compatible with the Snell-Descartes method (by up to 10 ppm in term of propagation time difference) but takes approximately a thousand times longer to run. We used the 3D eikonal ray tracing to characterize the influence of a lateral sound speed gradient on acoustic ray propagation and positioning accuracy. For a deep water (? 3,000 m) situation, frequent in subduction zones such as the Lesser Antilles, not accounting for lateral sound speed gradients can induce an error of up to 5 cm in the horizontal positioning of a seafloor transponder, even when the GNSS-A measurements are made over the barycenter of a seafloor transponder array. 相似文献
