[0002] Based on the principle of the Doppler effect, a Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and Doppler velocity log (DVL) were developed. The ADCP estimates velocity by extracting Doppler information from the echo signals of tiny scatterers moving with the water flow in the beam-illuminated area. The DVL estimates velocity by extracting Doppler information from the echo signals scattered by the beam-illuminated river or seabed. Acoustic Doppler velocity measurement channel parameters include the sound absorption coefficient and sound scattering coefficient of water scatterers, as well as the sound scattering coefficient of the river or seabed. Acoustic Doppler velocity measurement channel parameters are used to determine the precise measurement range of the device and optimize the device frequency selection and power setting to meet measurement requirements at different depths and complex hydrological environments, thereby improving velocity measurement accuracy.
[0003] However, the current methods for measuring sound attenuation and sound scattering coefficients are relatively complex. Theoretical formulas are usually obtained through model simulation and numerical simulation. They are greatly affected by changes in water scatterers and bottom changes, and have strong uncertainty. As a result, the existing technology has the problem of low accuracy in measuring sound attenuation and sound scattering coefficients. Summary of the Invention

[0022] This paper proposes a method for estimating acoustic Doppler velocity channel parameters, including acoustic absorption, volume scattering, and bottom scattering coefficients. Current methods for measuring acoustic attenuation and scattering coefficients are significantly affected by variations in water scatterers and the seafloor, resulting in high uncertainty and low accuracy in the measured acoustic attenuation and scattering coefficients.

This method generates volume backscattering correction curves and bottom backscattering correction curves. The sound absorption coefficient is then derived with respect to distance, and subsequently the volume and bottom scattering coefficients are calculated.

These parameters are all equipment parameters and are known and set by the implementer.
[0033] When sound waves are projected onto an inhomogeneous medium in the ocean, scattered waves are generated. At this time, part of the sound energy continues to propagate in the original direction, while the other part of the sound energy scatters 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 scattering of sound waves by the unevenness of the seabed, the surface roughness, and the scatterers nearby 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] Transmitting and receiving are synchronized, and the curve data of the reverberation echo signal changing with distance is collected. Other steps and parameters are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0037] In the second step, 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 2.1: According to the temperature of the sea area to be measured, the volume reverberation echo signal reception 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 sea area to be measured 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 sea area to be measured 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 and second embodiments.
[0042] Specific embodiment 4: The difference between this embodiment and specific embodiments 1 to 4 is that in step 21, the temperature of the sea area to be measured, the volume reverberation 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 reception 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 reception time of the volume reverberation echo signal, the half-acoustic spread 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 measured and the half sound expansion attenuation TL of the sea area to be measured 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, a compensation method 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.

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

[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 based on the interference phenomenon of the emitted sound waves in the sound field. The near field refers to the area closer to the transducer, where the interference result is affected by the phase and amplitude of the sound wave, and the sound field fluctuates.
