A numerically efficient broadband, range-dependent propagation model is proposed, which incorporates the Hamiltonian method into the coupled-mode model DGMCM. The Hamiltonian method is highly efficient for finding broadband eigenvalues, and DGMCM is an accurate model for range-dependent propagation in the frequency domain. Consequently, the proposed broadband model combining the Hamiltonian method and DGMCM has significant virtue in terms of both efficiency and accuracy. Numerical simulations are also provided. The numerical results indicate that the proposed model has a better performance over the broadband model using the Fourier synthesis and COUPLE, while retaining the same level of accuracy.
It is better to use a simple configuration to enhance the matched-field inversion method based on a horizontal line applicability of ocean environment inversion in shallow water. A array （HLA） is used to retrieve the variation of sound speed profile. The performance of the inversion method is verified in the South China Sea in June, 2010. An HLA laid at bottom was used to receive signals from a bottom-mounted transducer. Inverted mean sound speed profiles from 9-hour long acoustic signals are in good agreement with measurements from two temperature chains at the sites of the source and receiver. The results show that an HLA can be used to monitor the variability of shallow-water sound speed profile.
