ADCP estimates velocity by extracting Doppler information of echo signals of tiny scatterers moving with the water flow in the beam irradiation area. DVL estimates velocity by extracting Doppler information of scattered echo signals of rivers or seabeds irradiated by the beam. Acoustic Doppler velocity measurement channel parameters include the sound absorption coefficient and sound scattering coefficient of water scatterers and the sound scattering coefficient of rivers or seabeds. Acoustic Doppler velocity measurement channel parameters are used to determine the precise measurement range of the equipment, optimize the frequency selection and power setting of the equipment, so as to meet the measurement requirements at different depths and complex hydrological environments, thereby improving the velocity measurement accuracy.

[0003] However, the current methods for measuring sound attenuation and sound scattering coefficients are relatively complicated. The theoretical formulas are usually obtained by model simulation and numerical simulation. They are greatly affected by changes in water scatterers and bottom changes, and have strong uncertainties. As a result, the existing technology has the problem of low accuracy in measuring sound attenuation and sound scattering coefficients. Summary of the invention

[0015] In the step 3, the seabed reverberation echo signal is intercepted from the reverberation echo signal, and the seabed sound scattering coefficient of the sea area to be measured is estimated according to the temperature of the sea area to be measured, the seabed reverberation echo signal and the seabed reverberation echo level equation. The specific process includes:

In view of the current method for measuring acoustic attenuation and acoustic scattering coefficients, which is greatly affected by changes in water scattering bodies and seabed changes, has strong uncertainty, and leads to the problem of low accuracy of measured acoustic attenuation and acoustic scattering coefficients, the present invention corrects the echo level measured by the transducer based on the equivalent plane wave reverberation level formula of volume reverberation and seabed reverberation, combined with the known acoustic expansion attenuation and pure water absorption attenuation, obtains body backscattering correction curves and bottom backscattering correction curves, then obtains the acoustic absorption coefficient by derivation of the distance, and then obtains the body and bottom scattering coefficients.

[0023] Specific implementation method 1: Combination Figure 1 The invention is described, comprising:

[0024] Step 1: The transceiver of the ship-borne Doppler speed meter is used as the transmitter, and the transmitter transmits the sound wave signal obliquely to the seabed of the sea area to be measured.

[0025] The transceiver of the ship-borne Doppler speed meter also serves as a receiving end, which receives the reverberation echo signal of the transmitted sound wave signal after scattering;

[0026] The reverberation echo signal includes: a volume reverberation echo signal and a seabed reverberation echo signal;

[0027] The ship-borne temperature sensor measures the temperature of the sea area to be tested;

[0028] Step 2: intercepting the volume reverberation echo signal in the reverberation echo signal, and estimating the water body sound absorption coefficient and the water body sound scattering coefficient of the sea area to be measured according to the temperature of the sea area to be measured, the volume reverberation echo echo signal and the volume reverberation echo level equation;

[0030] Specific implementation method 2: The difference between this implementation method and specific implementation method 1 is that:

[0031] In the step 1, the ship-borne Doppler velocimeter is installed at the bottom of the hull;

[0032] The transceiver and transducer equipment parameters of the shipborne Doppler speed meter include: the combined directional beam width of the transceiver and transducer is Ψ; the sound source level of the transceiver and transducer is SL; the pulse width of the transmitted sound wave signal is τ; the transmission angle of the transmitted sound wave signal is θ; the center frequency of the transmitted sound wave signal is f; and the bandwidth of the transmitted sound wave signal is B. The above parameters are all equipment parameters, which are parameters known and set by the implementer.

[0033] When sound waves are projected onto an uneven medium in the ocean, scattered waves are generated. At this time, part of the sound energy continues to propagate in the original direction, and the other part of the sound energy is scattered around to form a scattered sound field. The scattering of sound waves by scatterers in the seawater medium, such as mud and sand particles, marine organisms, and water masses with uneven temperatures, is superimposed at the receiving point to form a volume reverberation signal. The unevenness of the seabed, the surface roughness, and the scatterers nearby scatter sound waves, which are superimposed at the receiving point to form a seabed reverberation signal. The seabed reverberation signal follows the volume reverberation. The volume reverberation echo signal is the reverberation echo signal before the first seabed scattering reaches the receiving end;

[0034] The seabed reverberation echo signal is the reverberation echo signal t time after the first seabed scattering reaches the receiving end; t is a positive number; the transmission angle is the angle between the beam axis and the horizontal plane; the beam axis is a parameter definition well known to those skilled in the art;

[0035] The transmission and reception are synchronized, and the curve data of the reverberation echo signal changing with the distance is collected. The other steps and parameters are the same as those of the first specific implementation method.

[0036] Specific implementation method three: This implementation method is different from the specific implementation method one in that:

[0037] In the step 2, the water body sound absorption coefficient and the water body sound scattering coefficient of the sea area to be measured are estimated according to the temperature of the sea area to be measured, the volume reverberation echo echo signal and the volume reverberation echo level equation. The specific process includes:

[0038] Step 2: According to the temperature of the sea area to be measured, the volume reverberation echo signal receiving time and the volume reverberation echo level equation, the volume reverberation echo level equation and the volume reverberation echo signal RL are calculated. VCompensation is performed to obtain the volume correction echo level equation and the compensated volume reverberation echo echo signal RL VC ;

[0039] Step 22: Obtain the compensated volume reverberation echo signal RL according to step 21 VC , calculate the sound absorption coefficient α of the scattering particles in the measured sea area sυ ;

[0040] Step 23: The compensated volume reverberation echo signal RL obtained in step 21 VC and the sound absorption coefficient α of the scattering particles in the tested sea area obtained in step 2 sυ , calculate the volume scattering coefficient S of the scattering particles in the sea area to be measured v

[0041] The other steps and parameters are the same as those in the first to second embodiments.

[0042] Specific implementation method 4: The difference between this implementation method and specific implementation methods 1 to 4 is that in step 21, according to the temperature of the sea area to be measured, the volume reverberation echo echo signal and the volume reverberation echo level equation RL V , and obtain the volume-corrected echo level RL VC The specific process is:

[0043] Step 2: Convert the volume reverberation echo signal RL V Expand according to the volume reverberation echo level equation formula;

[0044] Step 212: using the temperature of the sea area to be measured and the volume reverberation echo echo signal receiving time, obtain the pure water sound absorption coefficient of the sea area to be measured in the volume reverberation echo level equation formula;

[0045] Step 213: According to the receiving time of the volume reverberation echo echo signal, the half acoustic expansion attenuation TL of the measured sea area is obtained. 1V ;

[0046] Step 214: According to the pure water sound absorption coefficient of the sea area to be tested and the half sound expansion attenuation TL of the sea area to be tested 1V , the volume reverberation echo level equation and the volume reverberation echo echo signal RL V Compensation is performed to obtain the volume correction echo level equation and the compensated volume reverberation echo echo signal RL VC .

[0047] The volume reverberation echo echo signal RL VThe volume reverberation echo level equation is an expansion equation that theoretically analyzes the received signal according to sound propagation and scattering, which is a well-known content in the field of underwater acoustics. In practical applications, the sound absorption and sound scattering coefficients in the expansion equation are generally empirical values, which deviate from the actual sea conditions. Therefore, compensation is used to specifically solve the sound absorption and sound scattering coefficients. The compensated volume reverberation echo level equation is named the volume correction echo level equation. Since the volume reverberation echo echo signal RL V The only difference from the volume reverberation echo level equation is the way of expression. In fact, only one compensation is performed, and the compensated signal is analyzed according to the compensated formula.

[0048] The other steps and parameters are the same as those in the first to third embodiments.

[0049] Specific implementation method 5: This implementation method is different from specific implementation methods 1 to 4 in that:

[0050] In step 2-1, the volume reverberation echo signal RL V According to the volume reverberation echo level equation formula, it can be expressed as follows:

[0051]

[0052] Among them, SL is the sound source level of the transceiver and transducer; S v is the volume scattering coefficient of the scattering particles per unit volume in the water area irradiated by the transducer beam; r is the distance between the scattering particles and the transducer; α ω is the sound absorption coefficient of pure water in the sea area to be tested; α s is the acoustic scattering attenuation coefficient of the scattering particles; α υ is the viscous absorption coefficient of the scattering particles; c is the speed of sound in water; τ is the pulse width of the acoustic wave signal emitted by the transducer; Ψ is the combined directional beam width of the transducer;

[0053] In step 212, the temperature of the sea area to be measured and the volume reverberation echo echo signal reception time are used to obtain the pure water sound absorption coefficient of the sea area to be measured in the volume reverberation echo level equation formula, which is expressed as follows:

[0054]

[0055] f1=1.32×10 3 (T+273.1)e (-1700 / (T+273.1))

[0056] f2=1.55×10 7 (T+273.1)e (-3052 / (T+273.1))

[0065] TL 1V =20lgr

[0066] Where r represents the distance between the scattering particle and the transducer.

[0067] The distance r between the scattering particles and the transducer is calculated based on the reception time of the volume reverberation echo echo signal; the calculation of the distance between the scattering particles and the transducer based on the echo signal reception time requires consideration of the near and far fields of the sound wave. The near field and far field of the sound wave are divided according to the interference phenomenon of the emitted sound wave in the sound field. The near field refers to the area close to the transducer, and the interference result is affected by the phase and amplitude of the sound wave, and the sound field fluctuates. The far field refers to the area far from the transducer, and the interference result is only affected by the phase of the sound wave, the sound field no longer fluctuates, and the amplitude of the sound pressure decays according to the law of spherical waves. When applied under far-field conditions, the sound wave expands according to the law of spherical waves, and the near-far field boundary distance is calculated using the transducer radius and the emission center frequency. This is well known to those skilled in the art.

[0084] Step 312: According to the receiving time of the seabed reverberation echo signal, the three-quarter sound expansion attenuation TL of the sea area to be tested is obtained 1B ;

[0085] Step 313: According to the pure water sound absorption coefficient of the sea area to be tested and the three-quarter sound expansion attenuation TL of the sea area to be tested 1B , the seabed reverberation echo level equation and the seabed reverberation echo echo signal RL B Compensation is performed to obtain the seabed correction echo level equation and the compensated seabed reverberation echo echo signal RL BC

[0086] The seabed reverberation echo signal RL BThe seabed reverberation echo level equation is an expansion equation that theoretically analyzes the received signal according to sound propagation and scattering, which is a well-known content in the field of underwater acoustics.

[0093] Among them, r represents the distance of the scattering particles from the transducer, which is calculated based on the receiving time of the echo signal of the reverberation echo of the seabed. Calculating the distance of the scattering particles from the transducer based on the receiving time of the echo signal requires considering the near and far fields of the sound wave. The near field and far field of the sound wave are divided according to the interference phenomenon of the emitted sound waves in the sound field. The near field refers to the area close to the transducer. The interference result is affected by the phase and amplitude of the sound wave, and the sound field fluctuates.
