Abstract

The bottom parameters of the deep ocean are difficult to obtain through in situ measurement. These parameters demonstrate a significant physical meaning for predicting sound field accurately. Thus, geoacoustic inversion is required. An acoustic experiment was performed on a reliable acoustic path (RAP) in the Philippine Sea in 2013. A single bottom-moored hydrophone was deployed as the receiver, and the explosive charges were chosen as the sources. The experimental bottom loss (BL) versus angle was obtained with the water depth above 5000m for bottom parameter inversion. The inversion sediment parameters show a clay-silt feature. The marginal probability distributions (MPDs) represent that the inversion results have a high credibility. This method provides a feasible solution for the inversion of the bottom parameters in the deep ocean.
