Annual and seasonal mean air temperature and total precipitation were analyzed using Mann-Kendall (MK) test, inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation, and R/S methods. The results indicate that: (1) both temperature and precipitation increased in the past 45 years, but the increase in temperature is more obvious than that of precipitation; (2) for temperature increase, the higher the latitude and the higher the elevation the faster the increase, though the latitude has greater influence on the increase. Northern Xinjiang shows a faster warming than southern Xinjiang, especially in summer; (3) increase of precipitation occurs mainly in winter in northern Xinjiang and in summer in southern Xinjiang. lli, which has the most precipitation in Xinjiang, shows a weak increase of precipitation; (4) although both temperature and precipitation increased in general, the increase is different inside Xinjiang; (5) Hurst index (H) analysis indicates that climate change will continue the current trends.展开更多

The MFP technology and the DOA estimation technology were combined together by using the sound propagation characteristics of both target and interference. The spatial matrix filter with platform noise zero response constraint was designed by the near-field platform noise normal modes copy vectors and the far-field plane wave bearing vectors together. The optimal solution of the optimization problem for designing the spatial matrix filter was deduced directly, and it was simplified by the generalized singular value decomposition. The total response error to the plane wave bearing vectors and the total response to the platform noise copy vectors were given. The phenomena that strong interferences existed in the bearing course and blind areas existed after filtering were analyzed by the correlation between the plat- form noise copy vectors and the plane wave bearing vectors. It could be found from simulations that it has less blind area and higher detection ability by using the spatial matrix filtering technology.展开更多

Sometimes one need to know the fine structure of frequency spectrum of received signal. It is necessary to take a very long data to get high frequency resolution. This is not always possible due to the hardware and software limitation. Zoom FFT is one of the trade-off consideration for solving high frequency resolution problem, if we are only focus on some special frequency bins. Previous discussions mainly bifurcate into two different representations, the Complex Modulation and Cascade FFT. The former one traditionally needs some kind of special treatments, such as the complex modulation, Lowpass filtering, down-sampling. While the latter achieves the same result by two cascade FFT, with necessary modifications in phase and amplitude, thus is feasible for real-time implementation. Based on some theoretical analysis, a relationship between the complex moduIation and cascade FFT has been described in this paper. In addition, the selection of parameters such as windows function, sample rate, overlap factor have been discussed. Finally, the algorithm is presented and some simulation results are illustrated展开更多

It has been proved an effective method to improve line spectrum extraction. In a multi-beam digital sonar system, the time/bearing display is the most im portant interface between signal processing module and console module. It has been proved that the system gain is often lost in the illterface between these two modules. Background equalization technique can improv the overall performance of the time/bearing display win dow. The result of post processing of multi-beam data is filtered each time before displayed in screen. It is shown that the algorithm of median value filtering combined with OTA (Order Truncate Average) method is an efficient technique to equalize the non-uniform, non-stationary background data. A variable length of window is adopted to match the different width of main lobe of beam patterns. The results of system simulation show that the algorithm described in this paper is efficient in the case that the background of multi-beam data is not uniform展开更多

The general forms of the acoustic pressure and particle velocity in the flow noise field were obtained, and the spatial correlations of the flow noise were calculated. The numerical analysis results based on wavenumber integration show that: (1) The spatial correlations of flow noise drops rapidly with increasing axial separation between the elements, so the flow noise received by different vector hydrophones usually sampled in a half-wavelength rate can be considered as independent; (2) The flow noise is highly correlated in the radial direction at low frequency, and only those of high frequency componet can be neglected.展开更多

The interferences of direct wave and reflect wave from sea surface and sea bottom of underwater target radiated noise inherent the information of target distance. Extraction of these distance information will provide a possible new way in passive ranging for underwater target. The theoretical analysis and the results of at sea experiments show that the LOFAR (Low Frequency Analysis Record) figure inherently contains the range and moving information of passive acoustic sources, even in the situation that the receiver is only one single hydrophone. The theoretical analysis of extraction of target distance information by using wave guide invariant is presented in this paper. It is shown that, based on the interference striation pattern of target, the hydrophone array system is possible to extract the distance information with quite high array gain. Although the mathematical constrain conditions in forming interference striation pattern are different for individual array element, but it is proved that the differences of time delays between array elements can be used in compensation of beamforming. The theoretical analysis, system simulation and some results of at sea experiment show a new way in passive ranging and target recognition.展开更多

Firstly the proposed model refers to ice plate as stratified elastic media with some roughness. Secondly,it uses the perturbation method and Kirchhoff approximation theory to solve the scattering loss due to the sea ice inhomogeneity. Finally, the model predicts the multipath structure of the under-ice channel through Ray theory. The results of the numerical simulation and experiment indicate that the typical Arctic sound channel presents multipath structures due to the sea ice and seabed in the range of 6 km, respectively.The sea ice reflection paths are stable,with a short multipath spread within 14 ms. The seabed reflection paths have relatively weak strength. The proposed OASES-Bellhop coupled model successfully predicts the amplitude and delay of the multipath structure with small error,which indicates the proposed model is able to analyze and predict the multipath structure of the observed acoustic environment in experiment.展开更多

Thaditionally in the analogue sonar, DOA (Direction Of Arrival) of the target is determined by the single beam steerillg directioll, which rotate some kind of compensator to steer the target. The compensator is typically made of many electronic and mechanical components. The bearing accuracy substantially depellds on the accuracy of tapped delay line and many mechanical factors. With the application of digital technique in sonar, the precise bearing and ATT technique have attracted much interests for sonar designer. For a digital sonar the multi-beam system has discrete beam direction, which distributed in space, each beam has its fixed steering direction. It is important to use them to estimate precisely DOA of target and then to track the target automatically when the target is moving. An algorithm, which can precisely estimate the value of DOA of the target, is derived in this paper. The relationship among bearing accuracy and the array aperture, signal frequency band is expressed. The expression of time-delay estimation and bearing accuracy is presented. DOA of the target can be precisely calculated by the parabolic interpolation in the neighbourhood of the main lobe of the directivity function. It is easy to implement ATT technique in real time by DSP chips. The results of system simulation show that the algorithm derived in this paper has very good performance in target tracking.展开更多
