This research investigates the impact of sound speed profile mismatch due to wind-generated bubbles on the matched field sound source localization in a shallow-water environment of the Persian Gulf. A bubble layer and a sound propagation Parabolic Equation models are combined with a high-resolution maximum-likelihood matched field processor to calculate and analyze the acoustic pressure field and source localization in the bubbly environment. To calculate the localization error, the bubble environment is compared to the bubble-free environment in five wind speeds from 6.6 to 10.2 m/s, source depths of 10, 45, and 75 m, and nine acoustic frequencies ranging from 2 to 10 kHz. The results demonstrate that the range and depth localization errors increase by increasing the degree of the mismatch and the source frequency. However, the errors are significant only at frequencies equal to or higher than 8 kHz and wind speeds greater than 8 m/s. Moreover, the values of these errors depend on the source depth. This result indicates that the errors of the source located at a depth of 10 m are more than those in the source in depths of 45 and 75 m. The matched field processor overestimates the source range and depth. The range estimation error is less than that of depth.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"21 14","pages":"9139 - 9156"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141112947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To quantify the sustainability of this industry with the perspective of environment-food nexus, the-state-of-the-art index of food environmental footprint (FEF) is used and calculated for trout ponds (TPs). For this purpose, an integrated method is developed for accounting the environmental impacts of TPs by including grey water footprint (GWF) in Recipe, a tool for life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). GWF stands for the embedded water consumption and LCIA combines the potential health and ecological impacts.
