최근의 연구에서 해양의 내부파가 음파의 전달에 영향을 주어 비정상적인 손실을 일으키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 일련의 실험을 통하여 한국 동해에도 강한 수온약층을 중심으로 한 내부파가 존재하는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 음원과 수신기를 이용한 실험을 통해서도 관측된 내부파의 주기에 해당하는 음파의 변동 특성이 확인되었다. 내부파가 음파의 전파에 영향을 미치는 것은 모드간 간섭을 통하여 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 모드간섭의 이론적 설명과 함께 음향모델을 통하여 내부파의 영향을 추정하였다. 모델링 결과 내부파는 음파의 모드간 에너지 전이를 일으켜서 에너지를 산란시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 보인다. 한편 거리독립 환경과 내부파가 존재하는 환경간에는 주파수 1 kHz를 기준으로 하여 거리에 따라 약 10dB까지의 전파손실 차이를 나타낸다.

최근의 연구를 통해 해양의 내부파가 음파전달에 영향을 주어 비정상적인 손실을 일으키는 것을 밝혀졌다. 한국 동해세서도 강한 수온약층을 중심으로 내부파가 존재할 것으로 여겨져 왔으며, 이를 규명하고자 '98년 6월 각종 장비를 동원한 해양 관측을 동해항 근해에서 실시하였다. 또한 내부파에 의한 음파의 전파 특성을 추정학자 음원과 수신기를 고정한 상태에서 음향 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 전형적인 내부파는 주기가 약 5-12분이고 최대 진폭은 15m 정도임이 밝혀졌다. 특히 10여개의 내부파 묶음이 약 36cm/sec 의 속도로 이동하고 있음도 확인하였다. 15개의 음향센서로 이뤄진 수직선배열 수신기와 음원을 이용한 음향 실험결과 역시 4-12분 주기에서 부분적으로 스펙트럼이 높게 나타났으며, 특히 주파수 1kHz 인 경우에는 4, 6분 주기에서 15개의 센서에 대해 일관되게 높은 스펙트럼 준위가 나타났다. 내부파에 의한 이러한 음파의 특성은 음파의 모든간 결함으로 나타나는 일종의 간섭 현상으로 설명될 수 있다.

The electromagnetic (light) waves have a limitation to penetrate media, ie, water and sea-bottom layers, due to high energy attenuation, but acoustic (sound) waves play as the good messenger to gather the underwater target information. Therefore, the acoustic methods are applied to almost all of ocean equipments and technology in terms of in-water and sub-bottom surveys. Generally the sound character is controlled by its frequency. In case that the sound source is low frequency, the penetration is high and the resolution is low. On the other hand, its character is reversed at the high frequency. The common character at the both of light and sound is the energy damping according to the travel distance increase.

The sound velocity (compressional wave) and attenuation coefficient in the marine surface sediments in the nearshore areas off the Pohang, Pusan, Yeosu and Kunsan were investigated in terms of the geotechnical properties of the marine surface sediments in the water depth range of 10-50 meters. The marine surface sediments in the study areas are variable, that is, sand to clay. Due to the various four different study area, the sound velocities and attenuation coefficients in the surface sediment facies vary 1,44m/sec to 1,510m/sec in velocity and 0.82dB/m to 3.70dB/m in coefficient respectively. In fact, the sound velocity increases with increasing of density and mean grain sizes of the sediments, and however, with decreasing of porosith. The correlation equations between the sound velocith and geotechnical properties of mean grain size, density, and porosity were expressed as the following: Vp=1512.28406-9.16083(Mz)＋0.20795(Mz)$\^$2/, Vp=1876.15527-597.50397(d)＋210.48375(d)$\^$2/, Vp=1559.47217-2.09266(n)$\^$2/. where Vp is sound velocity, Mz is mean grain size, d is density, and m is porosity, respectively. However, the relationship between the attenuation and geotechnical properties were different from that of sound velocity and geotchnical properties. Furthermore, the correlation equations between attenuation coefficient and geotechnical properties were expressed as the following: a=1.85217＋0.67197(Mz)-0.09035 (Mz)$\^$2/, a=48.87859＋58.21721(d)-16.3.143(d)$\^$2/, a=2.06765＋0.07215(n)-0.00111(n)$\^$2/, where a is attenuation coefficient. The high attenuation appeared in the silty sand through fine sand facies in sediment and k values in these facies were in the range of 0.86 to 0.89 dB/m/KHz.

A previous velocity measurement system for marine sediment had several problems such as the errors occurred when picking first arrival time and the inconvenient measurement procedure. In order to resolve these problems, we developed a new acoustic properties measurement system by using PXI (PCI eXtentions for Instrumentation) module based on LabVIEW. To verify the new system, we measured the velocity and attenuation of sediment using the new system in a parallel with the previous system under the same experimental environment. The result of measurement showed 1~2% margin of error for the velocity as well as similar attenuation values. We concluded that the new system can efficiently measure the acoustic properties of marine sediment. It also has an advantage to construct the database of acoustic data and raw signal.

In this paper, temporal variations of acoustic transmission loss (TL) affected by internal tide are studied by computer simulation using oceanic data measured in the southern sea of Jeju Island in summer. Temperature was measured with depth (bottom depth are nearly 80 m) in two sites near Seogwipo coast every one hour for 25 hours during July 27 and 28, 2009. The periodic fluctuation of temperature due to the internal tide was observed and its vertical displacement was more than 10 m. In order to investigate temporal variation of TL by internal tide, acoustic propagation between two measurement sites (3.8 km distance) was simulated with a source depth of 10 m. TL variation for 1/3 octave band of 100 Hz center frequency highly coincided with tidal period but more complex variation with indistinct tidal period was observed for 1 kHz. Maximun standard deviation of TL variation was 4.2 dB for 100 Hz at 2.8 km distance from a source and it was 3.7 dB for 1 kHz. The tidal variation was also shown in detection range and its maximum variance was less than 1 km. These results imply that temporal variation of TL should be considered for acoustic researches at the southern sea of Jeju Island.

To investigate low frequency acoustic transmissions in the Sub-Polar Front(SPF) of the East Sea, numerical experiments are conducted with Range dependent Acoustic Model(RAM) using Circulation Research of the East Asian Marginal Seas(CREAMS) data and Autonomous Profiling Explorer(APEX)) data. Significant seasonal variations of sea water properties are existed across the Sub-Polar Front(SPF) region from the north and the south. The model results show that Transmission Loss(TL) decrease(about 20dB) with ideal front in the warm region whereas TL increase(about 25dB) with ideal front in the cold region. Regardless of season(both in summer and winter), when the sound source is located in the cold region of the SPF, the model results show weak TL, compared to the case of the source in the warm region(Maximum difference of TL reaches 28dB). This difference between the cases when the source is located in the cold region and the warm region, is accounted for from the different vertical profiles of sound speed in both regions.

High-Pressure gas Pipeline which is buried in underground has the Possibility that will be exposed to unexpected dangerous impact of construction equipment. To protect from this kind of danger, the real-time health monitoring system of the high-pressure gas pipeline is necessary. First of all, to make the real-time health monitoring system clearly, the acoustic wave propagation characteristics which are made from various construction equipment impacts must be identified. In link of technical development that prevents the damage of high-pressure gas pipeline, this paper gives FEM(finite element method) and BEM(boundary element method) solutions to identify the acoustic wave propagation characteristic of the various impact input signals which consist of Direc delta function and convolution signal of 45 Hz square signal and random signal.

Fluctuations in the ocean are closely related with the underwater acoustic propagation. Internal waves are generated by fluctuation of isopycnal layer in the upper part of the stratified ocean, which are propagated from offshore to coastal area. Physical characteristics of the internal waves existed in the East Sea were derived from the five field experimental data and the ocean monitoring buoy nearshore the mid-east coast of Korea. The dominant periods are appeared in the near-inertial period about $17{\sim}20hours$ and the short period about a few minutes. The wavelengths of them are $10{\sim}50km$ and $300{\sim}1000m$, and the phase speeds are $20{\sim}100cm/s$ and $30{\sim}70cm/s$, respectively The maximum amplitudes are about $20{\sim}25m$. Under the environment of short depression internal wave propagation, the variations of transmission loss field were investigated using an range-dependent acoustic transmission loss model(RAM). The result shows that the large irregular variations of transmission loss caused by progressing the internal wave from offshore toward coast.
