A broadband self-recording hydrophone was developed to conveniently assemble a hydrophone array for use in receiving underwater sound waves. A trigger device with an electromagnetic induction coupler was also developed to control the hydrophone's operation. Main configurations and specifications of the self-recording hydrophone are introduced in this paper. We present experiment results conducted in a water tank to examine the operating behavior of the hydrophone. Some advantages are discussed when the self-recording hydrophones are used to make up a hydrophone array.

Ocean noise may be used for monitoring wind speed and rainfall rate on the sea surface, as well as for tracking whales' migration routes. In particular, low-frequency ocean noise has recently been of concern with relation to the behavior of marine mammals. Low-frequency ocean noise has been increasing over the past few decades due to increase of ship traffic and offshore oil industry activities. Mechanical noise such as flow noise and cable strumming noise may be induced if low-frequency ocean noise is measured by cabled traditional hydrophone in high current areas. To successfully measure low-frequency ocean noise in a shallow water environment with strong current, we developed a self-recording hydrophone. This paper describes the main configurations of the self-recording hydrophone and presents some results on measured data.

항해하는 선박으로부터 방사되는 선박소음과 달리 바람소음은 바람과 해수면의 상호작용으로 생성된 쇄파에 의해 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 바람의 소음원을 쇄파로 인해 발생되는 기포운으로 설정하여 바람소음준위를 모델링하였다. 모델링에서 바람소음의 음원준위는 동해 연안에서 운영되는 기상부이로부터 측정된 풍속 자료를 이용하여 계산하였다. 풍속을 측정함과 동시에 기상부이의 주변에 계류된 자가기록식 수중청음기를 이용하여 소음준위를 연속적으로 측정하였다. 측정된 수중소음에서 선박소음을 제거한 소음준위와 풍속에 따라 모델링된 바람소음준위를 저주파대역에서 비교하였다. 모델링된 바람소음준위와 측정된 소음준위의 전반적인 경향이 서로 유사하였다. 이에 따라 바람에 의해 발생된 소음원인 기포운의 음원준위 및 분포 수심을 고려하여 천해역에서 바람소음준위를 모델링하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다.
