The reasons given are: (1) There is not enough temporal coherence in the signal to allow the full spatial aperture to be realized, (2) It is simply a scheme to convert temporal gain to spatial gain, so there is no new gain achieved. (3) The source frequency must be known a priori to compute the phase correction factor, otherwise the unknown Doppler will introduce an unacceptable bias in any bearing estimation problem. This paper shows that all of these objections assume signal models that do not faithfully embody the physics of the situation, and thereby basically doom the processor to failure. It is shown that by using more than one hydrophone the source frequency can be estimated simultaneously with the bearing, that by including the forward motion of the array in the signal model the bearing information intrinsic to the Doppler can be utilized, and that by applying a recursive (Kalman based) algorithm the errors due to changes in temporal coherence can be eliminated. Results using real data are presented that demonstrate the improvement over the conventional beamformer.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"27 1","pages":"7-9 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75880725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flow rates as low as few cm/yr are determined using tracers injected as a point source, and by continuously sampling the sediment pore water and studying variability in tracer concentrations with time. Sampling can be conducted at various depths in the sediment and distances from the injection port, thereby allowing determination of the flow field in the shallow sub-seafloor sediments. The continuously sampled pore fluids are also analyzed for their chemistry which, combined with the flow rate data, yields the fluxes of chemical species from the sediment into the ocean.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"25 1","pages":"109-112 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82540410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper presents a positioning technique for AUV's that exploits existing bathymetric data in an operation area. Unlike many terrain matching approaches, which do positioning using distinct ocean bottom features, this method generates a position estimate by comparing the in-situ measured depth at the position of the AUV with available bathymetry data in the immediate area. This builds on contemporary AUV INS/VL navigation systems by incorporating a maximum likelihood estimate of position. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of the maximum likelihood estimator module which produces point-wise position estimates and typically contains a large error component with many outliers. This estimate is merged with the output of the AUV's INS/VL system which constrains the INS drift. Further position accuracy and faster convergence to the correct position can be achieved by incorporating a single slant range measurement from the AUV to a fixed location. The slant range is used as external constraint on both the INS and the MLE. The paper describes the implementation of this approach and the results of simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"1 1","pages":"2123-2127 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79921159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The features are derived from the shape and the spectral character of the first echo. They, and other aspects of the data processing, have been optimized for sounder frequencies for which surface scattering dominates over that from volume inhomogeneities. Many engineering applications, such as dredging, the laying of submarine pipelines and cables, the siting of drill and production platforms, and the building of bridges and dams require knowledge of the subsurface. With the development of high-resolution digital seismic systems such as chirp sonars and the IKB SEISTEC/sup TM/ system in the last decade, mapping of the subsurface in shallow water has become cost-effective. This paper describes results from applying these statistical techniques to normal-incidence high-resolution seismic reflection data in which the surface scattering is far less significant, with the hope that these methods will be an adjunct to, and perhaps eventual replacement for, manual expert classification decisions.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"30 1","pages":"1677-1683 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83583149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Successful operation of the Bathy 2000P during two annual Submarine Science Ice Expeditions (SCICEX) has provided seafloor and sediment sonar data previously unavailable to the scientific community. High-resolution acoustic images of the Arctic marine sub-bottom and topographic contours are presented and corroborate the use of a submarine as a platform for acoustic acquisition of geophysical data. Additional processed data, generated using a unique suite of algorithms to derive spectral and absorption loss characteristics are presented.

Bonded pipe is a flexible pipe where the steel reinforcement is integrated and bonded to a vulcanized elastomeric material. Textile material is included in the structure to obtain additional structural reinforcement or to separate elastomeric layers. The applications addressed by this paper are sweet service production, including well stream product and stabilized crude export. Production products include gas, water and injection chemicals. The bonded flexible pipe is used as static flowline and dynamic risers and loading and discharge marine hose. A new application for bonded flexible pipe that did not require much in the way of new technological development is offshore mobile production systems. Until 1989 there had been very little new development in bonded flexible pipe but with the introduction of offshore mobile production systems (MOPS) this changed. The mobile offshore production systems considered is the MOPS used on the Gombe Beta Field, Gabon, West Africa and the MOPS used on the Tchatamba Field, also offshore Gabon, West Africa. The MOPS is accepted in the oil industry as a means to collect reservoir data through extended well tests, to provide early cash flow from major fields and to produce marginal fields. The author focuses on bonded flexible risers, bonded flexible pipelines and bonded floating export hose that comprise the three critical bonded flexible pipe applications. All three are used to convey crude between the production unit, storage tanker and export tanker.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"354 1","pages":"1407-1412 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77834434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
