The vertical directivity characteristic of ambient noise is one inherent characteristic of the ocean in shallow water. And it includes the information of guide’s acoustic characteristic information. The marine guide is composed of sea water; seabed and surface boundary, there into, the acoustic parameters of seabed are hardly obtained exactly. In this paper, the model of vertical directivity for ambient noise is established. Based on the ray theory of sound propagation, the influence of guide’s acoustic parameters which include sound speed, density and attenuation coefficient on vertical directivity of marine ambient noise is simulated. The results are propitious to analysis and command the characteristics of ambient noise, and valuable to accelerate the exertion of acoustic equipment performance.

Parameters Inversion

In shallow sea the wave of ambient noise contains the information of environment acoustic field. In theory, vertical coherence, which is one of the numerous ambient noise field characters, can be used to invert geo-acoustic parameters because of its relative stability. The ambient noise data were collected in two different seasons using two vertical-laid hydrophones in shallow water. Then acoustic parameters of semi-infinite space seabed are inversed from the vertical coherence of measured ambient noise in the frequency range of 100Hz~3 kHz. The predicted vertical coherence curve of ambient noise, which is computed using inversed parameters, agrees with the measured curve by comparison. The experiment results show that geo-acoustic parameters can be inversed effectively by the vertical coherence of ambient noise.
