极地水声信号处理研究

Research on Underwater Signal Processing in Arctic Region

北极地区因其特殊的战略地位和地球持续变暖的趋势而备受关注。北极及其毗邻海域的水声学研究在北极海洋科学研究中占有重要的地位。极地水声信号处理较其他水声信号处理领域研究起步较晚,主要针对极区海域特别是北极海洋环境开展水声环境效应及其适配处理研究。文章介绍二战结束后开始的北极及其毗邻海域的水声学研究概况,并说明这一特殊海域的海洋水声研究的特点和有别于传统水声研究的内容。介绍北极水声环境研究的重要性,以及对水声信号处理、声呐装备的特殊要求,和我们应该采取的应对措施。

Due to the special strategy role and the trends of global warming, the Arctic region attracts many interests. The underwater acoustics play a very important role in the ocean research work of Arctic region and its neighborhood. The research work of underwater signal processing in polar region is relative late than the other field of underwater acoustics. It focuses on polar region especially the Arctic ocean environment, studies the effects of underwater acoustic environment and its adaptive signal processing methods. In this paper, the outline of research work, since WWII, of underwater acoustics in Arctic region and its neighborhood is introduced. The specific research issues and results different from the traditional underwater acoustics in this special region are discussed. It is shown that the characteristics of Arctic ocean environment has more important role in underwater signal processing and sonar design,, some special treatments must be taken in matching the requirement of Arctic underwater acoustics.
