南海神狐海域上陆坡区典型浅地层剖面的初步解释

Preliminary interpretation of a typical sub-bottom profile from the upper slope of Shenhu area in the northern South China Sea

应用Triton SB-Interpreter软件对"大洋一号"DY115-20航次试航A航段在南海神狐海域上陆坡区取得的TOPAS浅地层剖面资料进行后处理,并对处理结果进行初步解释,结果表明:(1)根据地形特征,南海神狐海域上陆坡区顺坡向下可分为起伏区和平坦区,起伏区地形起伏较大,声波穿透性较差;平坦区地形基本没有起伏,声波穿透性较好。(2)陆坡凸起可能广泛发育于研究区,并且和天然气水合物关系密切,陆坡凸起的成因可能是泥底辟作用,或泥底辟等因素的存在导致沉积地层在重力作用下发生变形。(3)研究区沉积层中发育有声空白补丁、局部增强反射和声空白带等声学特征,证明了含气结构的存在,相应的沉积层构成了一个含气结构带,若含气结构带下方发育的断层成为气体向上运移的通道,深部天然气水合物的分解为气体的来源,则由此构成的"气源+运移通道+含气结构带"组合可能成为天然气水合物的找矿标志。综上可见,应用Triton SB-Interpreter软件对TOPAS浅地层剖面资料进行后处理,得到的浅地层剖面对寻找天然气水合物具有一定的指示意义。

Using Triton SB-Interpreter software to process the TOPAS data obtained from the upper slope of Shenhu sea area in the northern South China Sea during the Leg A of the Testing Cruise DY115-20,the preliminary interpretation of the typical profile P0 shows:(1)In the study area,the degree of sea-bottom relief decreases downslope,while the acoustic penetration depth increases downslope. (2)Dome structures may be commonly and widely found on the upper slope of Shenhu area,and have a close relation to gas hydrate...
