Single-mode excitation is a powerful tool for studying many oceanographic processes. Meanwhile, the complex time-variant ocean environment poses a great challenge for single-mode excitation because Green's function matrix of sound field changes quickly. In their previous work, the authors built a system to excite single-mode in a relative simple environment. The purpose of this paper is to study the feasibility of single-mode excitation in rapidly time-variant ocean environment. An improved recursive algorithm is presented to adapt for time-variant environment where the single-mode can be excited within very short time by this algorithm. A typical time-variant shallow water environment is simulated, and results of the single-mode excitation in this environment are presented.

AbstractShallow water acoustics provide a means for monitoring and surveillance of near-shore environments. This paper describes the current and future capabilities of the low- to high-frequency Hawaii Experimental Acoustics Range (HEAR) that was designed to facilitate a wide range of different shallow water acoustics experiments and allow researchers from various institutions to test various array components and configurations. HEAR is a portable facility that consists of multiple hydrophones (12‐16) cabled independently to a common central node. The design allows for variable array configurations and deployments in three modes: experimental (off boats and piers), autonomous, and cabled. An application of HEAR is illustrated by the results from a deployment at Makai Research Pier, Oahu, Hawaii. In this deployment, HEAR was configured as a long-baseline range of two volumetric subarrays to study passive acoustic tracking capabilities in a shallow water environment.
