Abstract
Estimating the sound speed profile by matching the acoustic intensity striation using a mounted horizontal line array is investigated. Due to constructive and destructive interference between normal modes, the acoustic intensity manifests range-frequency striation structure in shallow water. Using the environment and acoustic data measured during a tomography experiment conducted in the South China Sea in June, 2010, the possibility and validity of inverting for the water column sound speed profile by matching the acoustic intensity striations are studied. The results show that the fluctuation of the sound speed profile has obvious influence on the acoustic intensity striations. The acoustic data recorded in an experiment conducted in the South China Sea in June 2010 are analyzed to invert for the sound speed profiles. The sound speed profile is represented by Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) to reduce the unknown parameters. The estimates agree well with the measured sound speed profiles and most of the standard deviations are less than 1 m/s.
