Quantitative Analysis on the Influence of the Oceanic Front on Underwater Acoustic Detection with Investigated Marine Data

At present, some shortcomings of the research on coupling modeling of the oceanic front–sound field may need attention: (1) Most of the acoustic propagation simulation is based on ideal front models, but the application of investigated marine data is lacking. (2) Most studies focus on the acoustic f...

description At present, some shortcomings of the research on coupling modeling of the oceanic front–sound field may need attention: (1) Most of the acoustic propagation simulation is based on ideal front models, but the application of investigated marine data is lacking. (2) Most studies focus on the acoustic field characteristics, with the influence of fronts on acoustic propagation, but few studies aim at the direct quantitative analysis of the performance of underwater acoustic detection in oceanic fronts. To deal with the above problems, based on the measured data in the northwest Pacific Ocean, here, we first design different sound source layout schemes and calculate sound field characteristics in the sub-Arctic front using the ray theory. Then, the cumulative detection probability model is built based on the active sonar equation to evaluate the efficiency of underwater detection. Finally, the detection probability is calculated and expressed by regionalization, and the influence of the sub-Arctic front on underwater detection is quantitatively analyzed. The results show that the sub-Arctic front can significantly affect the underwater acoustic detection. The sound source located in the front in the cold-water mass has a better detection performance, especially detecting towards cold water (horizontal detection range > 60 km). In contrast, the sound source located in the warm-water mass has a poor detection performance (horizontal detection range in shallow sea < 10 km).
