Outline

  • Ocean data/modeling using multiple

mooring data for mid-frequency acoustic modeling.

  • Two acoustic data sets and corresponding

broadband PE simulation results:

  • 1. fixed range (550 m) data
  • 2. towed source data (max 8.1 km)
  • Summary and implications.

Simulation strategy

  • Goal: develop a range-independent

acoustic model to simulate observed arrival structure.

  • Approach: broadband Parabolic Equation

simulation.

  • Example: Fourier synthesis of PE runs in

1.5 - 6 kHz with pulse length 400 ms using a CTD profile from the KNORR.

Summary Acoustic Data and Modeling

Acoustical effects of the rising thermocline:

  • 1. 550 m data: changing arrival pattern and 5 dB change in

acoustic intensity.

  • 2. Towed source data: 2 dB change in acoustic intensity.

Broadband PE together with range- independent / slow time-varying ocean model captures gross characteristics of TL.

  • 1. At 550 m, good model/data agreement for both intensity and

arrival pattern.

  • 2. For towed source, overall good agreement.

Implications

  • Acoustical effects of the rising thermocline are

significant, observable, and predictable.

  • Nearby mooring data improve acoustic modeling.
  • The observed acoustic variations due to the internal

tide impacts geoacoustic inversion.
