Ocean Acoustic Interferometry Experiment

چکیده
Ocean acoustic interferometry (OAI) is a technique which relates the cross-correlations from a line of active sources to two receivers within a waveguide, and the time domain Green’s function between said receivers. Within this paper, three specific OAI source geometries are briefly introduced and explained. Experimental OAI data were collected during the SW06 (Shallow Water ’06) sea trials during September 2006. Preliminary analysis of the data shows that the cross-correlations exhibit an observable structure.

Green's function approximation from cross-correlation of active sources in the ocean.
Green's function approximation via ocean noise cross-correlation, referred to here as ocean acoustic interferometry, has been demonstrated experimentally for passive noise sources. Active sources offer the advantages of higher frequencies, controllability, and continuous monitoring. Experimental ocean acoustic interferometry is described here for two active source configurations: a source lower...
متن کاملGreen's function approximation from cross-correlations of 20-100 Hz noise during a tropical storm.
Approximation of Green's functions through cross-correlation of acoustic signals in the ocean, a method referred to as ocean acoustic interferometry, is potentially useful for estimating parameters in the ocean environment. Travel times of the main propagation paths between hydrophone pairs were estimated from interferometry of ocean noise data that were collected on three L-shaped arrays off t...
متن کاملWind Mapping by Ocean Acoustic Interferometry
The field of surface wind blowing over the vast ocean areas is an important parameter for numerical models used for weather forecasts. Surface wind is currently measured from satellites. This provides necessary global coverage; however, measurements of high winds meet some difficulties due to weak dependency of the radarand radiometric signals on the wind velocity at high winds. In [1] a new me...
متن کاملMapping Ocean Winds by Broadband Acoustic Interferometry
Mapping the wind over vast ocean areas is a very important practical problem, especially at high winds. Satellite measurements using scattering of electromagnetic waves from the rough ocean surface are extremely useful; however, the cross section for this scattering saturates at high winds, when wind speed measurements are most valuable. On the other hand, the same mechanism that precludes use ...
متن کاملAn application of holographic interferometry to acoustical holography
Holographic interferometry with a phase-modulated reference beam is applied to an acoustic holography. A very thin, flexible, optically reflective membrane, called a pellicle, is used in the liquid as an acousto-optic interface. The method involves three processes: the motion of a pellicle caused by an ultrasonic wave is recorded as an optical hologram using holographic interferometry; the opti...
