Vertical Directionality Analysis of Low Frequency Ambient Noise in South China Sea Experiment of ASIAEX / 亞洲海域國際聲學南海實驗之低頻環境噪音垂直方向性分析

碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海下技術研究所 / 92 / This study is based upon the vertical line array (VLA) in South China Sea experiment of the Asian Seas International Acoustic Experiment (ASIAEX), dated from May 3, 2001 to May 16, 2001, in which the ambient noise in shallow water was measured. In this paper, we use the beamforming method to calculate the vertical directionality of ambient noise in shallow water, for discussing the noise source distribution, and environmental effects on vertical directionality. The results show that distant shipping noise was observed near the horizontal angles, and surface noise occurred at high grazing angles. It is also discussed that the wind speed effect on the vertical directionality in this paper. Because of the typhoon Cimaron passed the experimental area during the experiment, which make wind speed changed obviously, so it can be found out the wind effect of ambient noise. By analyze the noise fluctuation, it is concluded that the threshold frequency of wind wave affected ambient noise levels were about 400 Hz. And after analyzing the vertical directionality, it is verified that the threshold was lower to 200 Hz. On the other hand, we also note the phenomena of “noise notch” appeared at some duration when calculating the vertical directionality. The environmental effects (sound speed profile) on the notch, and the presentation of noise notch at different frequencies were discussed. In the end part of this paper, we determined the time when the notch occurred by using the power difference of vertical directionality, and we expect that the results would be important for similar researches in the future.
