Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of polar acoustic technology, and in particular relates to a joint measurement method and a measurement system for polar sea ice thickness and sound velocity in ice based on ultrasonic interface echo detection. Background Art

[0002] Polar sea ice thickness measurement technology based on ultrasonic echo refers to a technical method that uses ultrasonic echoes at the ice-water interface to measure sea ice thickness and determine the sound velocity in ice in a polar environment. The sound velocity and ice thickness of polar sea ice are the two most basic parameters required to describe the acoustic characteristics of sea ice, and there is a close relationship between them. When measuring the sound velocity in sea ice, it is necessary to measure the sea ice thickness in advance; conversely, when measuring the sea ice thickness using the ultrasonic echo method, it is necessary to estimate the sound velocity in ice in advance. These two parameters are the prerequisites for the study of acoustic characteristics in ice. The sound velocity in sea ice can lay a theoretical foundation for the research of engineering applications such as cross-ice communications. The continuous observation of sea ice thickness can also serve as a window for monitoring polar temperature fluctuations.

[0003] Traditional methods for measuring sea ice thickness can be roughly divided into the following three types. (1) Directly measuring the thickness of the ice sample to be measured after destroying the ice layer. However, this type of method has disadvantages such as high risk and poor operability in polar environments. (2) Using the propagation time of the ice-water interface echo to measure the thickness of the ice sample to be measured on the premise of estimating the sound velocity in the ice. However, sea ice in polar environments is mostly multi-year ice, and the sound velocity in the ice is difficult to estimate, resulting in a large difference between the measured ice thickness and the actual ice thickness. (3) Using the longitudinal temperature change inside the sea ice to measure the thickness of the ice sample to be measured using a temperature chain, but the existence of a subglacial melt pond under the sea ice may cause the ice temperature chain to have a large error in determining the position of the ice-water interface during the measurement process. Traditional sea ice sound velocity measurement requires destroying the ice layer, taking out the ice core and grinding both sides of the ice core to measure the thickness of the ice core, and further measuring the sound velocity in the ice. However, in polar environments, this type of method has great safety risks and is not very operational.

[0004] In summary, the existing sea ice thickness measurement and ice sound speed measurement methods are difficult to meet the requirements of sea ice thickness measurement in polar environments in terms of practicality and applicability. The present invention aims at the polar environment and the problem that the existing sea ice thickness measurement methods are limited in applicability and not very practical in polar environments. Based on the propagation time of the ice-water interface echo in sea ice, a joint characterization method for sea ice thickness and ice sound speed is proposed. The sea ice thickness and ice sound speed can be flexibly measured by quickly deploying a combined transmitting and receiving system on the ice surface. Summary of the invention

[0018] Step 3.2: Use the filtered signal in step 3.1 to perform cross-correlation calculation;

[0019] Step 3.3: Use the result of step 3.2 to calculate the propagation time.

[0020] Furthermore, the step 3.1 is specifically that, after synchronous transmission and reception, the received signals y1, y2, and y3 of each receiving channel are band-pass filtered at 1 / 2 octave of the center frequency f of the transmitting signal to eliminate noise interference on the echo, that is, the filtering frequency band is Obtain filtered signals y1', y2', y3';

[0021] Specifically, the step 3.2 is to perform cross-correlation calculation on the filtered signals y1', y2', y3' and the transmitted signal, and extract the cross-correlation result envelope peaks loc1, loc2, loc3 using Hilbert transform;

[0022] Specifically, step 3.3 is to combine the cross-correlation envelope peaks loc1, loc2, loc3 and the received signal sampling frequency fs to obtain the first echo propagation time t of each echo signal. i =loc i / fs.
