In the latter case, the effect of ice cover was taken into account. It has been found that the main error in determining the distance in the 1–10 km interval is associated with the multimode (multiray) nature of the acoustic wave propagation in the sound channel between the water surface and bottom. It has been demonstrated that this error decreases to several meters in summer and with a waterlike bottom, when the sound speeds in the water layer and bottom are close to each other.

Typically, such transducers that generate a high-power ultrasound beam, have near axially symmetric shape with a central circular opening to accommodate a diagnostic probe for visualization purposes. To predict the focal field parameters of such transducer geometries, an equivalent source model of a spherical segment is convenient, as nonlinear effects in its field are well studied. The equivalent source parameters (diameter, focal length, and amplitude) are optimized to closely approximate the focal region of the original transducer along the axial coordinate. This paper investigates the effect of the central opening size on the nonlinear field characteristics and applicability of the equivalent source model for a typical therapeutic ultrasound transducer with a frequency of 1 MHz and <i>F</i><sub>#</sub> = 0.9.

The statistical test for Gaussianity and linearity showed that the natural seismic background in the 1–50 Hz frequency range is a nonlinear process. Bicoherence graphs revealed statistically significant peaks of phase-coupled triplets with a characteristic geometry of peak clustering in the triangular principal domain. To analyze the quasi-noise component of the seismic background, surrogate time series with a randomized phase spectrum were generated, the bispectra of which are free of triplet peaks. Bispectral analysis of surrogate series showed the presence of a non-Gaussian quasi-noise component in the seismic background in the frequency range of 1–6 Hz. Previously, the results of the analysis of the used set of records by two completely different methods, each of which extracts information from different components of the seismic background, quasi-noise and regular, were published. These studies showed that each of the two components contains information sufficient to estimate the total thickness of the productive intervals under the recording point. Based on the results of the bispectral analysis and the features of the algorithms of the two methods, a conclusion was made that the quadratically phase-coupled triplets and the non-Gaussian quasi-noise component in the field territory are manifestations of endogenic seismic emission and are generated by the same nonlinear process developing in the vicinity of an oil-saturated reservoir. The mechanism of seismic emission should be sought in the class of phenomena with quadratic nonlinearity. The statistical characteristics of the internal structure of the seismic background near oil wells have similar features that differ greatly from the statistical characteristics of the seismic record near a “dry” well located outside the reservoir and not producing oil.
