Finally, the model predicts the multipath structure of the under-ice channel through Ray theory. The results of the numerical simulation and experiment indicate that the typical Arctic sound channel presents multipath structures due to the sea ice and seabed in the range of 6 km, respectively.The sea ice reflection paths are stable,with a short multipath spread within 14 ms. The seabed reflection paths have relatively weak strength. The proposed OASES-Bellhop coupled model successfully predicts the amplitude and delay of the multipath structure with small error,which indicates the proposed model is able to analyze and predict the multipath structure of the observed acoustic environment in experiment.展开更多
