Sloping Bottom

The direct-global-matrix coupled-mode model (DGMCM) for sound propagation in range-dependent waveguides was recently developed by Luo et al. [A numerically stable coupled-mode formulation for acoustic propagation in range-dependent waveguides, Sci. China G: Phys. Mech. Astron. 55 (2012) 572–588]. A brief review of the formulation and characteristics of this model is given. This paper extends this model to deal with realistic problems involving an inhomogeneous water column and a penetrable sloping bottom. To this end, the normal mode model KRAKEN is adopted to provide local modal solutions and their associated coupling matrices. As a result, the extended DGMCM model is capable of providing full two-way solutions to two-dimensional (2D) realistic problems with a depth- and range-dependent sound speed profile as well as a penetrable sloping bottom. To validate this model, it is first applied to a benchmark problem of sound propagation in a plane-parallel waveguide with a depth- and range-dependent sound speed profile, and then it is applied to a problem involving both an inhomogeneous water column and a sloping bottom. Comparisons with the analytical solution proposed by DeSanto and with the numerical model COUPLE are also provided, which show that the extended DGMCM model is accurate and efficient and hence can serve as a benchmark for realistic problems of sound propagation in an inhomogeneous waveguide.

Ray Bending

The accuracy of multibeam echosounder bathymetric measurement depends on the accuracy of the data of the sound speed layers within the water column. This is necessary for the correct modeling of ray bending. It is assumed that the sound speed layers are horizontal and static, according to the sound speed profile traditionally used in the depth calculation. In fact, the boundaries between varying water masses can be curved and oscillate. It is difficult to assess the parameters of these movements based on the sparse sampling of sound velocity profiles (SVP) collected through a survey; thus, alternative or augmented methods are needed to obtain information about water mass stratification for the time of a particular ping or a series of pings. The process of water column data collection and analysis is presented in this paper. The proposed method updates the sound speed profile by the automated detection of varying water mass boundaries, giving the option to adjust the SVP for each beam separately. This can increase the overall accuracy of a bathymetric survey and provide additional oceanographic data about the study area.
