1、Ocean Acoustics,Ocean is largely opaque to EM radiation but sound propagates wellConsider:propagation speedrefraction,reflectionscattering,attenuationrangeApplications,Crowd sourcing whale song analysis http:/whale.fm Sound in the ocean:http:/www.whoi.edu/oceanus/v2/viewTopic.do?tagId=88,In 1826,Jea

2、n Daniel Colladon used a church bell under water to prove that sound traveled faster through water than air.In lake Geneva,assisted by Charles-Francois Sturm,a mathematician,the two split apart by 10 miles in boats.One struck the bell underwater and ignited gunpowder above the surface at the same ti

3、me.The other started a timer at the flash of the gunpowder and stopped the timer when the sound arrived,using a trumpet-like instrument to detect the underwater noise.Despite their simple devices,they calculated the speed of sound underwater at 1435 m/s.,Constant sound speedmeans no refraction,Speed

4、 of sound in seawater is about 1500 m s-1,Sound propagates by compression and rarefaction of a compressible medium.Water is not very compressible,so the speed is much higher than in air(340 m s-1),Affected by:,PressureTemperatureSalinity,It can be shown in the case of a constant sound velocity gradi

5、ent,dc/dz,that the sound ray describes an arc of a circle whose radius is:,Since sound velocity is not constant,sound rays follow curved paths.They are refracted following the relationship given by Snells Law:,SOund Frequency And Ranging(SOFAR)channel,RAFOS float,From a point source,sound spreads sp

6、herically and intensity falls proportional to R2,Transmission loss,Some sound reaches the bottom and is reflected,so the transmission loss is decreased,Over very long distances,with much of the energy trapped in the sound channel,the spreading is cylindrical and transmission loss is proportional to

7、R,Sound intensity in decibels,Sound Level intensity is described in non-dimensional units(relative to a reference)on a log scale in decibels SL=10 log(I/Iref)=20 log(p/pref)Factor of 10 because it is decibels,not belsFactor of 20 because intensity I is proportional to p2 A 10 dB increase means an or

8、der of magnitude increase in sound intensity The reference pressure in water is 1 microPascal,human voice 80-3000 Hz,baleen whales 10-50 Hz,Attenuation is the combination of absorption and scattering.Absorption:due to molecular properties of water and increases with square of the frequencyScattering

9、:lack of homogeneity of the ocean temperature microstructure,air bubbles,plankton,particulates Essentially all attenuation is by absorption at frequencies 500 Hz For comparison,attenuation of 10 kHz sound in moist air is about 160 dB/km;in the ocean the attenuation loss for the same frequency is abo

11、 resonant frequencies dependent on their size.Fish have air-filled sacs called swim bladders that are roughly ellipsoidal in shape and which can present a resonant target to sonar.,The differences in swim bladders cause differences in the return echo of a sonar signal.Echo signatures for specific sp
