Abstract

In coastal bay waters, bubbles are generated by relatively heavy ship-traffic, breaking waves due to man-made structures and biological activities. Therefore, the bubble-generating mechanism as well as the bubble density distribution in the bay are quite different from the open ocean where breaking waves are major contributor for bubble density distribution. High frequency surface-backscattered signals were obtained in the coastal bay waters and they were analyzed to compare with those from the open waters in terms of the sea-surface backscattering strength at various grazing angles, the reverberation characteristics in the sub-surface layer and spectral spreading of the scattered signals. The results show that, the surface scattered signals have an irregular distribution of amplitude in time and the width of the spectral spreading is wider than that of the open sea with rough surface. Furthermore, the amplitude distribution of the reverberation signals is not following the Rayleigh distribution, that is eon to be a typical pattern for the open ocean. The results of our analysis imply that the bubble size and the bubble density in the bay are quite different from those observed in the open waters.

내만은 잦은 선박통행, 인공구조물에 의한 쇄파 그리고 생물학적 활동으로 외해에 비해 공기방울의 생성이 활발하다. 따라서 공기방울의 생성과정과 분포형태가 주로 쇄파에 의존하는 외해의 특성과는 매우 다른 내만에서의 해수면 후방산란신호를 분석하였다. 해수면 후방산란신호의 입사각에 따른 변화, 해수면 부근에서의 잔향특성 그리고 산란신호의 주파수 확장폭 등을 외해의 산란신호 특성과 비교하였다. 내만에서의 표층 산란신호는 시간영역에서는 매우 불규칙한 진폭의 변화를 보이고 주파수 확장폭이 외해의 거친 해수면보다 더 크게 나타나고 있다. 소위 해수면 잔향신호의 진폭 분포는 기존에 알려진 Rayleigh 분포를 따르지 않고 있어 공기방울의 크기 및 수직분포가 외해와 비교, 매우 상이한 특성을 갖고 있음을 보여주고 있다.
