Abstract
The paper discusses the results of an experiment conducted in the Sea of Japan in March 2016 on an acoustic track 194 km long under winter hydrological conditions. We have studied the most complex case of propagation of pulse pseudorandom signals from the shelf into shallow water during vortex generation on the acoustic track. Analysis of the experimentally obtained pulse characteristics have shown that the maximum first approach of acoustic energy recorded at all points agrees well with the calculation. This testifies to the fact that at a given reception depth, the first to arrive are pulses that have passed in the near-surface sound channel over the shortest distance and at small angles close to zero. We propose a technique for calculating the mean sound velocity on the track from satellite monitoring data on the surface temperature, which makes it possible to rely on the successful application of the results obtained in acoustic ranging and navigation problems.
