Abstract

Sea surface backscattering signal measurements were conducted in the shallow waters off the east coast of Korea to study the acoustic wave scattering from the sea surface. The grazing angles of wave range from 20° to 40° with a frequency of 60 kHz. The wind speed and surface roughness of the experiment area were 3 m/os and below 1 m, respectively. The measured acoustic backscattering strengths greatly exceed the composite roughness predictions at low grazing angles. To account for this discrepancy, the scattering strengths due to a near-surface bubble layer were considered. The prediction with bubble contribution was found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurement.

해수면에서의 음파산란 특성을 파악하기 위한 해수면 후방산란실험을 2000년 11월 동해시 연안에서 수행하였다. 평면입사각의 범위는 20°∼40°였고 주파수는 60 kHz였다. 실험해역의 풍속은 3 m/s, 해수면 거칠기는 1 m이하로 관측되었다. 분석된 해수면 후방산란강도는 경계면 산란강도 예측 모델에 비해서 높게 나타났으며 이러한 차이는 작은 평면입사각에서 더욱 크게 나타났다. 이러한 차이를 설명하기 위하여 해수면 부근의 공기방울층에 의한 산란 효과를 고려한 결과 실측치와 모델이 잘 일치하였다.
