The effect of sound speed profile on shallow water shipping sound maps

Abstract: Sound mapping over large areas can be computationally expensive because of the large number of sources and large source-receiver separations involved. In order to facilitate computation, a simplifying assumption sometimes made is to neglect the sound speed gradient in shallow water. The accuracy of this assumption is investigated for ship generated sound in the Dutch North Sea, for realistic ship and wind distributions. Sound maps are generated for zero, negative and positive gradients for selected frequency b… Show more

“…1 B) revealed positive sound velocity profiles in the winter season (the period of 2015 January–February), were the sound propagation conditions with the winter surface ducting are formed. In this period the change of sound velocity gradients counted as between the values of 0.03–0.125 s −1 (the value of sound change by 1 m/s per 1 m depth see [6] ). During the rest of the year (spring–summer–autumn seasons), the sound velocity profiles assumed to be an ISO and negatively inclined, where the sound propagation taking place in the “mode stripping” region, with extensive surface-bottom interaction of sound waves [7] .…”
