Abstract
An undulating bottom in shallow water has a significant effect on sound propagation. An acoustic propagation experiment was carried out in the East China Sea in 2020. Measurements along two separate propagation tracks with flat and undulating bottoms were obtained. Abnormal transmission losses (TLs) were observed along the track with the undulating bottom. By using the parabolic equation model RAM and ray theory, these abnormal TLs and the distribution of the sound field energy were analyzed. Numerical simulations indicate that under the shallow water condition with a negative thermocline and for a high frequency (1000 Hz), the incidence and reflection angles of sound rays on the sea bottom are changed due to the undulating sea bottom. The larger the inclination angle of the undulating bottom, the greater the grazing angle changes. These angles changes lead to different sound propagation paths for the undulating bottom and the flat bottom, resulting in the difference of TLs at a certain distance and depth. The undulating bottom will cause energy convergence in the mixed layer when the source and receiver locate above the thermocline.
