description |
This work indicates two novel ocean current observation methods that based on a glider type mobile platform. Glider with current meters are ideal current observation solutions for marine scientists since they have merits of large dynamic area and low power consumption, but their measurement accuracy is insufficient now. The proposed 1st solution, single point current meter compensated inversion method (SPCMCIM), is a revolution of the conventional inverse method by solving the acoustic Doppler to current profiler (AD2CP) induced turbulence problem. It’s a cooperated AD2CP and single point current meter (SPCM) algorithm that compensates the contaminated first AD2CP layer data. The physical position of the SPCM is also optimized according to a finite element analysis (FEA) study to minimize the interference generated by the SPCM. The 2nd method is solving the area restriction problems that AD2CP can just apply to non-pure water environment namely single point and inertial measurement inversion method (SPIMIM). It utilizes the SPCM as the only current observation source and takes advantages of physical properties of ocean currents. The currents are constitute of stable layers and each of them has a stable velocity, so the glider’s velocity variation can be obtained by reading the SPCM. The velocity variation in the transition process between layers can be acquired by the low cost inertial sensors. Finally, these theoretical studies were verified in an onsite sea trial. The SPCM and AD2CP was mounted to an underwater glider to measure the currents and a ship equipped AD2CP was used to provide the arbitrary data. Both of the proposed method can effectively measure the current velocity and induced significant enhancement than the classical inversion method. In particular, the first method conducted improvement of 70% accuracy by average. The 2nd one also shows an obvious improvement and has the advantage to deploy to high purity water area like deep lakes or north pole. IEEE |
