Abstract.
The results of theoretical and experimental studies of the structure of wave
geohydroacoustic fields formed in the northern seas covered with continuous ice
are presented. A simplified mathematical model is constructed that takes into
account experimental data showing that the water layer with the ice cover
exerts the greatest influence on the generation process of various types of
geohydroacoustic waves in the lithosphere-hydrosphere-ice cover system. The
structure of the seabed affects mainly the characteristics of propagating
waves, and not the generation of new modes. The results of mathematical
modeling became the basis for the development of new localization technologies
for inhomogeneities, applicable in ice-covered water areas. The main
distinguishing feature of the newly developed technology for monitoring the
environment in ice-covered sea conditions is the possibility of measuring the
parameters of noise signals without the use of active sources of geohydroacoustic
radiation. The most promising for use in the conditions of the northern seas
are methods based on measuring the characteristics of surface waves, in
particular methods of microseismic sounding and noise tomography. The
combination of these methods combines the achievements of passive geophysics in
recent years and takes into account the features of hydroacoustics. To obtain
information about the wave propagation medium, both the amplitude and phase
characteristics of the wave field are used. To reveal in the records the waves
of one type or another, methods of spatio-temporal processing of the signal
with an appropriate choice of the frequency range are used. A new
generation of seismo-hydroacoustic freezing information-measuring modules
(buoys) created by the authors, equipped with vector and molecular-electronic
primary converters, is described. The information-measuring modules are
intended for use in the distributed ice-class antenna systems, the use of which
will allow conducting year-round monitoring of the northern seas covered with
solid ice sheet. Investigations into the functioning of the ice freezing
information and measuring systems and the theoretical results obtained were
checked during fieldwork in February 2017. At each measuring station, the
receiving system consisted of three reference devices providing measurements at
the bottom, in the water column and on the ice surface. The mockups of the
tested geohydroacoustic buoys were frozen at points separated by a distance of
one kilometer. As emitters, we used falling mass of 32 kg. The use of a
controlled perturbation during ice experiments made it possible to obtain
qualitative spectrograms of geohydroacoustic perturbations in layered
structures and to analyze dispersion curves. In the study of the fundamental
bottom mode, a underwater blast at a depth of
10 m was used as the source of the signal. Seismic-hydroacoustic freezing
information-measuring modules successfully withstood the ice tests in
full-scale conditions at low temperatures, demonstrating the stability of the
acquired seismo-hydroacoustic information. The experimental data obtained are
in a good agreement with the theoretical estimates made within the framework of
the model of layered geological environment. The set of the performed studies
showed that the natural noise of the sea contains useful information that
reflects the internal structure of the seabed and the water layer and allowed
developing instrumental and methodological foundations for the noise technology
of localization of inhomogeneities in the aquatic environment and layered
bottom structures of the northern seas by passive monitoring of microseismic
noise.
