A quality database of reverberation is absolutely essential if one is to understand the shallow-water reverberation problem. However, to get wideband reverberation levels (RL) simultaneously for both short and long ranges at low- and mid-frequencies is a delicate task that can be subject to errors. This paper introduces a simple method to get RL for the Asian Sea International Acoustics Experiment in the East China Sea (ASIAEX01). Special attention is paid to the measurements of the RL at short- and mid-ranges. With this method, one does not need to accurately calibrate hydrophones and measurement systems, or to measure absolute source level (SL). It can avoid signal overflow and saturation problems caused by powerful sound sources. The RL (relative to SL) at 1 s (or at 2 s) after an explosive source is detonated is defined as the initial reference reverberation level (IRRL). The IRRLs from four sites with different sandy sediments and different water depths have been given as a function of frequency in the 150-2500 Hz range. A mathematical model gives a physical explanation of the measured IRRL data. The resultant RL and IRRL may offer some reference values for the design of reverberation measurements or numerical simulations of shallow-water reverberation and bottom scattering. 相似文献

Optimal array-processing techniques in the ocean often require knowledge of the spatial coherence of the reverberation. A mathematical model is derived for the reverberation vertical coherence (RVC) in shallow water (SW). A method for analysis of RVC data is introduced. Measured reverberation cross-correlation coefficients as a function of time and frequency, obtained during the Asian Seas International Acoustic Experiment (ASIAEX) in the East China Sea, are reported. SW reverberation from a single shot provides a continuous spatial sampling of the surrounding sound field up to several tens of kilometers and holds valuable information on the geoacoustic properties of the sea floor over this distance. SW reverberation data can, therefore, be used as the basis for a quick and inexpensive method for geoacoustic inversion and has the obvious advantage that acquiring the data in situ requires only a single platform. This paper considers the use of the vertical coherence of the reverberation as the starting point for such an inversion. Sound speed and attenuation in the sea bottom at the ASIAEX site are obtained over a frequency range of 100-1500 Hz by finding values that provide the best match between the measured and predicted RVC. 相似文献

Reverberation measurements made by the SACLANT Undersea Research Centre at three shallow-water sites (130-190-m depth) are compared with each other and with estimates from the DREA normal-mode reverberation model OGOPOGO. The experiments over silt-clay and sand seabeds were conducted at slightly bistatic geometries (0.7-6.0-km source-receiver separation), using explosive sources detonated at mid-water depths. The signals were received on hydrophones of either a vertical or horizontal array and analyzed in one-tenth-decade frequency bands from 25 to 1000 Hz. The data are compared with each other to investigate the site differences and frequency dependencies, and with the estimates from the reverberation model OGOPOGO to interpret the data and to obtain a qualitative measure of the scattering. For modeling purposes, geoacoustic models of the seabed were assumed, and the reverberation data were fitted by adjusting the Lambert bottom scattering coefficients. Good model agreement was obtained with both individual hydrophone and data. Though somewhat sensitive to the geoacoustic the Lambert coefficients give a measure of the frequency dependence of the scattering. For the silt-clay bottom, the scattering is weak but is independent of frequency; for the sand bottoms, the scattering is stronger and increases with frequency. These results are compared with estimates from other experiments 相似文献

Detection in the presence of reverberation is often difficult in active sonar, due to the reflection/diffusion/diffraction of the transmitted signal by the ocean surface, ground, and volume. A modelization of reverberation is often used to improve detection because classical algorithms are inefficient. A commonly used reverberation model is colored and nonstationary noise. This model leads to elaborate detection algorithms which normalize and whiten reverberation. In this paper, we focus on a more deterministic model which considers reverberation as a sum of echoes issued from the transmitted signal. The Principal Component Inverse (PCI) algorithm is used with this model to estimate and delete the reverberation echoes. A rank analysis of the observation matrix shows that PCI is efficient in this configuration under some conditions, such as when the transmitted signal is Frequency Modulated. Both methods are validated with real sonar surface reverberation noise. We show that whitening has poor performance when reverberation and target echo have the same properties, while PCI maintains the same performance whatever the reverberation characteristics. Further, we extend the algorithms to spatio-temporal data. We propose a new algorithm for PCI which allows better echo separation. This new method is shown to be more efficient on real spatio-temporal data 相似文献

We consider the results of instrumental investigations of specific features of reverberation in the Black Sea and obtain qualitative
dependences of the duration of volume reverberation on the parameters of the Black-Sea underwater sound channel, (width, drop
of the sound velocity, and dimensions of the inhomogeneities of stratification). We also analyse the behaviour of the intensity
of surface reverberation in the far-field zone of acoustic illumination and the influence of bottom reverberation on the detection
of underwater objects.

Based on the Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouin modal condition, the phase shift of the bottom reflection coefficient can be extracted. The required input data for this inversion is the modal wavenumber. In this paper, the amount of phase shift of the bottom-reflection coefficient is estimated from the 2001 Asian Sea International Acoustic Experiment data in the East China Sea, in the frequency range of 100-200 Hz. Modal wavenumbers are estimated from using the cross-spectrum density matrix (CSDM) of reverberation data and a mode-shooting method. The error associated with the estimated phase shift is also discussed. 相似文献

A model for numerical simulation of nonstationary sonar reverberation using linear spectral prediction 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
An innovative approach to the numerical generation of nonstationery reverberation time series is presented and demonstrated. The computer simulated reverberation time series are of high quality, in that they are accurate representations of those which would result from an actual sonar system (transmit/receive and horizontal/ vertical beampatterns; pulse type, shape, length, and power; frequency and sampling rate), platform (speed and depth), and environment (wind speed and direction, backscattering strengths, and propagation loss). Volume, surface, and/or bottom reverberation as seen by a multiple beam sonar on a moving platform is generated. The approach utilizes recent developments in linear spectral prediction research in which the spectra of stochastic processes are modeled as rational functions and algorithms are used to efficiently compute optimal estimates of coefficients which specify the spectra. A two-fold sequence is formulated; first, the expected reverberation spectra for all beams are predicted and, second, the stochastic time series are generated from the expected spectra. The expected spectra are predicted using a numerical implementation, referred to as the REVSPEC (reverberation spectrum) model, of a general formulation of Faure, Ol'shevskii, and Middleton. Given the spectra, the Levinson-Durbin method is used to solve the Yule-Walker equations of the autoregressive formulation of linear spectral prediction. The numerical implementation of the approach, referred to as the REVSIM (reverberation simulation) model, produces nonstationary coherent multiple-beam reverberation time series. The formulation of the REVSIM model is presented and typical results given. A comparison is made between the simulation outputs of the REVSIM model and those of the REVGEN (reverberation generator) model, a standard well-accepted time series simulation model, to demonstrate the validity of the new approach. 相似文献

The simulation of active sonar reverberation time series has traditionally been done using either a computationally intensive point-scatterer model or a Rayleigh-distributed reverberation-envelope model with a time-varying power level. Although adequate in scenarios where reverberation arises from a multitude of scatterers, the Rayleigh model is not representative of the target-like non-Rayleigh reverberation or clutter commonly observed with modern high-resolution sonar systems operating in shallow-water environments. In this paper, techniques for simulating non-Rayleigh reverberation are developed within the context of the finite-number-of-scatterers representation of K-distributed reverberation, which allows control of the reverberation-envelope statistics as a function of system (beamwidth and bandwidth) and environmental (scatterer density and size) parameters. To avoid the high computational effort of the point-scatterer model, reverberation is simulated at the output of the matched filter and is generated using efficient approximate methods for forming K-distributed random variables. Finite impulse response filters are used to introduce the effects of multipath propagation and the shape of the reverberation power spectrum, the latter of which requires the development of a prewarping of the K distribution parameters to control the reverberation-envelope statistics. The simulation methods presented in this paper will be useful in the testing and evaluation of active sonar signal processing algorithms, as well as for simulation-based research on the effects of the sonar system and environment on the reverberation-envelope probability density function. 相似文献

Linear frequency-modulated (LFM) signals with 600 Hz bandwidth, centered at 1.1 kHz were transmitted from a towed source in a shallow-water environment in the Mediterranean Sea and received at a distant vertical line array (VLA). Arrivals recorded on the VLA were beamformed to give incident intensity as a function of vertical angle. Simultaneous measurements of quasimonostatic reverberation were made on a horizontal line array (HLA), towed close to the source. In this paper, these data are analyzed to study the relation between the angle at which sound arrived at the patch of seabed surrounding the VLA and the intensity of quasimonostatic reverberation returned from that patch. The validity of three candidate relations (Lambert's Law, angle-independent scattering and an intermediate relation) is investigated and scattering strength parameters (Lambert /spl mu/ and equivalents) are also deduced for the patch of seabed surrounding the VLA. Only weak evidence is found to support one of the scattering relations (the intermediate) over the other two and the reasons for this are discussed. The physical processes that may underlie the intermediate relation are also discussed. 相似文献

A model for the matched filter response to continuous reverberation from the transmission of broadband waveforms is developed. The application is for reverberation from a rough interface, based on perturbation theory. The model is developed for both the stationary rough bottom and the moving ocean surface interfaces. The mean reverberation is predicted as a function of the Doppler speed of the matched filter replica. Application is made to the design of waveforms with comb-like spectra. A uniform train of impulses produces a comb spectrum that is shown to significantly reject reverberation for a certain range of Doppler speeds. A similar low-reverberation response is produced from a continuous source emitting a wavetrain composed of adjacent hyperbolic-frequency-modulated (HFM) pulses. A waveform design technique is demonstrated to ensure continuity of the entire HFM wavetrain. Finally, waveforms with geometrically spaced comb spectra are considered. A new geometric comb waveform with constant amplitude is specified. However, this waveform requires a large bandwidth which may be difficult to obtain with practical high-power sources. Hard and soft-clipped versions of the comb spectra waveform are considered which provide useful compromises between the amount of reverberation suppression, the transmitted energy efficiency, and the utilization of available bandwidth. 相似文献

An adaptive noise cancelling (ANC) technique involving a joint-process deterministic least-squares lattice filter was applied to the Sea Beam bathymetric survey system data. The filtering scheme used in Sea Beam adversely affects the underlying acoustic return and may also lead to bathymetric artifacts. The authors investigate a possible remedy for this sidelobe interference problem offered by ANC coupled with signal preservation, provided both amplitude and phase information. The joint-process deterministic least-squares lattice is the adaptive filter of choice because of its superior transit response in the presence of power discontinuities. A REVGEN (reverberation generator) simulation (R.P. Goddard, 1985) of the Sea Beam system provided support for the proposed filtering technique. A complex data acquisition system was designed and built to record the in-phase and quadrature component of Sea Beam returns. Initial ANC processing of these recorded Sea Beam data provided satisfactory sidelobe interference cancellation with no noticeable degradation of the actual bottom returns 相似文献

A normal-mode model for calculating reverberation in shallow water is presented. Some illustrative calculations are given for the bistatic case and for vertical and horizontal line-array receivers. Emphasis is on comparison with measurements of bistatic reverberation obtained at a shallow-water area in the Mediterranean. The data are from explosive sources received by a towed array, analyzed in one-tenth-decade frequency bands at subkilohertz frequencies. Model calculations for a flat-bottomed environment indicate a strong dependence on propagation conditions and a weak dependence on beam steering direction. Preliminary comparisons give quite good agreement between measured reverberation and model predictions, but point to the need for extending modeling efforts to handle range-dependent environments 相似文献

High-frequency shallow-water reverberation statistics were measured from a smooth, sandy, featureless seafloor. The reverberation statistics are presented as a function of source frequency (20-180 kHz), grazing angle (30°, 20°, 9.5°), and source beamwidths (1.2°-2.75°). Generally, the reverberation statistics did not follow a Rayleigh fading model. The model dependence of the reverberation statistics exhibited a complex behavior that ranged from near Gaussian to beyond log-normal. The results show that small changes in the source frequency, grazing angles, and beamwidths caused large variations in the model dependence of the reverberation statistics 相似文献

Active sonar systems have recently been developed using larger arrays and broad-band sources to counter the detrimental effects of reverberation in shallow-water operational areas. Increasing array size and transmit waveform bandwidth improve the signal-to-noise ratio-and-reverberation power ratio (SNR) after matched filtering and beamforming by reducing the size of the range-bearing resolution cell and, thus, decreasing reverberation power levels. This can also have the adverse effect of increasing the tails of the probability density function (pdf) of the reverberation envelope, resulting in an increase in the probability of a false alarm. Using a recently developed model relating the number of scatterers in a resolution cell to a K-distributed reverberation envelope, the effect of increasing bandwidth (i.e., reducing the resolution cell size) on detection performance is examined for additive nonfluctuating and fluctuating target models. The probability of detection for the two target models is seen to be well approximated by that for a shifted gamma variate with matching moments. The approximations are then used to obtain the SNR required to meet a probability of detection and false-alarm performance specification (i.e., the detection threshold). The required SNR is then used to determine that, as long as the target and scatterers are not over-resolved, decreasing the size of the resolution cell always results in an improvement in performance. Thus, the increase in SNR obtained by increasing bandwidth outweighs the accompanying increase in false alarms resulting from heavier reverberation distribution tails for K-distributed reverberation. The amount of improvement is then quantified by the signal excess, which is seen to be as low as one decibel per doubling of bandwidth when the reverberation is severely non-Rayleigh, as opposed to the expected 3-dB gain when the reverberation is Rayleigh distributed. 相似文献

Primary production (PP) models of the Kara Sea are developed based on data collected on fall expeditions (September–October 1993, 2007, and 2011) and their precision assessment utilizes the dataset collected in September 2013. The algorithms for different model types (depth-integrated and depth-resolved) are compared. The depth-resolved model performs slightly better than the depth-integrated one (the rootmean- square-difference (RMSD) are 0.29 and 0.31, respectively). These algorithms utilize the daily assimilation number (DAN) and photosynthetic efficiency (ψ) as the model coefficients, and surface chlorophyll a (chl a) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) as input variables. These algorithms perform better than the models that use chl a alone. Our results suggest that an increase in the performance of the Kara Sea PP models depends on the input of the photophysiological characteristics of phytoplankton (DAN and ψ) and PAR. To a lesser extent, this concerns the advantages of the depth-resolved model over the depth-integrated one. The constructed region-specific Kara Sea PP models combined with satellite-derived chl a and PAR can be used to estimate annual values and long-term variation of PP in hydrologically and hydrochemically similar waters of the Arctic Ocean. 相似文献

浅海声传播和混响的选频衰减 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
在强负跃层浅海的爆炸声实验中,发现当声源和接收器都位于跃层之上时,平均混响强度和某一航向的声传播损失在频率1000-2000Hz之间出现强烈的异常衰减现象,而且很有意思的是发射和接收均无指向性的平均混响强度的异常衰减与该航向声传播损失的异常衰减具有中心频率相同、带宽一致、附加衰减值相近的窄带共振或选频衰减特权.显然,这一异常衰减现象无法用各向异性的机理(内波、海面或海底的有规律起伏等)来解释.根据本文实验所得的传播损失和混响强度的深度结构以及一些间接的证据,我们认为这一选频附加衰减是由分散活动干跃居上部的有鳔鱼(极可能是鱼)所引起的. 相似文献

High-frequency bottom reverberation measurements were made at an experimental site in the Gulf of Mexico. The acoustic data were taken as a function of frequency (40-180 kHz) and grazing angle (40-33°). The measured acoustic reverberation results are compared to predictions made by models developed by Jackson et al. (1986, 1996) and Boyle and Chotiros (1995). The models used inputs from the analysis of sediment cores and stereophotography. The model predictions show differences from each other and from the data. The results show reverberation-level variabilities as a function of frequency that cannot be accurately predicted by these models 相似文献

Monostatic reverberation measurements were collected in shallow water, over a coarse gravel and cobble bottom, 100 m deep, off the coast of Nova Scotia. Data were collected at frequencies of 21, 28, and 36 kHz using linear FM pulses of 2-kHz bandwidth and 0.160-s duration. An anchored, high-frequency active sonar array deployed at a depth of 42 m was used to collect the data. The reverberation measurements were compared with estimates computed with the NUWC generic sonar model (GSM). The data were reasonably well modeled for times greater than 0.2 s after pulse transmission by neglecting surface reverberation and using Lambert's rule for bottom backscattering with a scattering coefficient of -27 dB, independent of frequency. At all three frequencies, the data and model show a peak approximately 0.9 s after pulse transmission. This peak results from a focusing effect that the downward-refracting sound-speed profile has on the interaction of the rays with the bottom 相似文献
