Geoacoustic Inversion of Tow-Ship Noise via Near-Field–Matched-Field Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses geoacoustic inversion from tow-ship noise data acquired via a horizontal towed array. Through simulations and experimental results, it is shown that even very quiet ships radiate sufficient noise power to enable self-noise inversion of basic geoacoustic parameters such as effective bottom velocity. The experimental results presented are particularly encouraging in view of the high level of interference shown to be tolerated from nearby shipping.

Geoacoustic inversion in time domain using ship of opportunity noise recorded on a horizontal towed array.
A time domain geoacoustic inversion method using ship noise received on a towed horizontal array is presented. The received signal, containing ship noise as a source of opportunity, is time-reversed and then back-propagated to the vicinity of the ship. The back-propagated signal is correlated with the modeled signal which is expected to peak at the ship's location in case of a good match for th...
متن کاملOn the effect of error correlation on matched-field geoacoustic inversion.
The effect of correlated data errors on matched-field geoacoustic inversion for vertical array data is examined. The correlated errors stem from the inability to model the inhomogeneities in the environment resulting in an additional error term beyond ambient noise. Simulated data with these correlated errors are generated and then inverted with or without using the proper covariance matrix. Re...
متن کاملA Markov Chain Monte Carlo Approach for Geoacoustic Inversion and Source Localization
Gibbs Sampling, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique, has been shown to be a powerful tool for geoacoustic inversion and source localization. By providing estimates of posterior joint distributions, it offers a global optimization route for multi-dimensional matched-field processing that reports uncertainty and covariance in addition to point estimates. In this work, Gibbs Sampling is applied t...
متن کاملRange-dependent seabed characterization by inversion of acoustic data from a towed receiver array.
The MAPEX2000 experiments were conducted in the Mediterranean Sea in March, 2000 to determine seabed properties using a towed acoustic source and receiver array. Towed systems are advantageous because they are easy to deploy from a ship and the moving platform offers the possibility for estimating spatially variable (range-dependent) seabed properties. In this paper, seabed parameters are deter...
متن کاملBayesian model selection applied to self-noise geoacoustic inversion
Self-noise geoacoustic inversion involves the estimation of bottom parameters such as sound speeds and densities by analyzing towed-array signals whose origin is the tow platform itself. As well as forming inputs to more detailed assessments of seabed geology, these parameters enable performance predictions for sonar systems operating in shallow-water environments. In this paper, Gibbs sampling...
