Abstract:

The relationship between ocean internal wave and acoustic field is a very important topic. Internal waves are an important factor that affects acoustic channel, whereas acoustic channel affected by internal waves also includes the information of dynamic processes of internal waves. According to this relationship, a detecting principle and method of ocean internal wave based on Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (ADCP) is introduced in this article. The effectiveness of this method is verified via the detecting result of ocean internal wave by ADCP in the sea trial.

Key words: internal wave, Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (ADCP), scattering intensity
