Project SENSOCEAN, Achievements


Array development

The short vertical array (SHA) is an array of 4 pair of hydrophones 10cm apart. The array was designed to estimate the vertical particle velocity field by measuring the pressure difference. This configuration allows to improve the estimation of bottom parameters using signals in the 10kHz band. The array can be interfaced with CINTAL/SiPLAB acquisition systems for long deployments. In addition a new light acquisition system (DTU) was developed to allow interfacing with AUVs and simple operation.

Development of a propagation model for vector sensor applications

The ray tracing propagation model cTRACEO includes particle velocity modeling, a must for the development of model based parameter estimation using vector sensor data. In addition cTRACEO accounts for bottom shear propreties and backscatering. The model is available for the scientific community (see SIPLAB/models )

Ocean parameter estimation using particle velocity

The spatial filtering capabilities of the vector sensor arrays have been longtime used for improved direction of arrival estimation. Under project SENSOCEAN it was demonstrated that vector sensors can also improve the resolution of other ocean parameters, in particular bottom parameters. Please see project publications for details.
