Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the beam time series of ocean reverberation which was conducted in the eastsouthern region of East Sea, Korea during the August, 2015. The reverberation data was gathered by moving research vessel towing LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) source and triplet receiver array. After signal processing, we analyzed the variation of ocean reverberation level according to the seafloor bathymetry, source/receiver depth and sound speed profile. In addition, we used the normalized data by using cell averaging algorithm and identified the statistical characteristics of seafloor scatterer by using moment estimation method and estimated shape parameter. Also, we analyzed the coincidence of data with Rayleigh and K-distribution probability by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results show that there is range dependency of reverberation according to the bathymetry and also that the time delay and the intensity level change depend on the depths of source and receiver. In addition, we observed that statistical characteristics of similar Rayleigh probability distribution in the ocean reverberation.

본 연구에서는 2015년 8월, 동해 동남방 해역에서 수행된 해양 잔향음 빔 데이터를 분석하였다. 잔향음 데이터는 이동하는 연구선에 의해 예인된 LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) 음원과 삼중선 배열을 통해 수집되었으며, 신호처리 과정을 거친 이후 해저지형, 음원/수신기 수심, 음속구조에 따른 잔향음 준위의 변화를 분석하였다. 추가로 해저 잔향음의 확률적 특성을 해석하기 위해 셀 평균화 알고리즘이 적용된 정규화 데이터가 활용되었고, 모멘트 추정 기법을 통해 형상 모수를 추정하여 해저 산란체의 확률적 특징을 확인하였다. 또한, 콜모고로프 스미르노프 검정 기법을 이용하여 데이터가 레일레이 분포와 K 분포 확률에 일치하는지를 분석하였다. 결과적으로 해저 지형에 따른 잔향음의 거리종속 특성과 음원/수신기 수심에 따른 시간 지연 및 세기 변화를 확인하였고, 잔향음에서 레일레이 확률분포와 유사한 특성을 관찰할 수 있었다.
