Abstract

Mesoscale eddies widely exist in the ocean and affect the sound propagation. Using AVISO altimeter and Argo buoy data from 2000 to 2018, the multi-year average three-dimensional structure of mesoscale eddies in the Kuroshio and Oyashio extension regions in the Northwest Pacific Ocean was constructed by synthesis method, and the structural characteristics of temperature anomalies, salt anomalies and sound velocity were analyzed. The sound propagation in eddies is simulated by using Bellhop ray acoustic model. The results show that : (1) Under the background of the cold eddy, the temperature anomaly is negative, the salinity anomaly is negative in the upper layer and positive in the lower layer, and the sound velocity contour rises. Under the background of warm eddy, the temperature anomaly is positive, the salinity anomaly is positive in the upper layer and negative in the lower layer, and the sound velocity contour is sinking. (2) The cold eddies cause the convergence region to shift towards the sound source direction and the width of convergence zone to decrease; the warm eddies cause the convergence zone to move away from the sound source and increase its width. The convergence area in the Kuroshio extension region is wider than that in the Oyashio extension region, and is further away from the sound source. (3) The cold eddies make the convergence zone turning depth shallower, while the warm eddies make the convergence zone turning depth deeper. In the Kuroshio extension region, the inversion depth is shallower with the increase of longitude,but in the Oyashio extension region, the inversion depth is deeper with the increase of longitude.
