Abstract Seafloor geodetic positioning is crucial for evaluating the marine geodetic network and monitoring various marine activities. We propose a sound velocity correction method based on the precise round-trip acoustic positioning model to improve the accuracy of seafloor geodetic positioning. The proposed method models the sound velocity error related to sound velocity profile (SVP) deviation and time-varying error and reduces the propagation error of the acoustic rays in the ocean. The SVP deviation and seafloor position parameters are resolved simultaneously by the Bayesian estimation using the round-trip acoustic travel time. The time-varying errors of SVP are corrected through symbolic regression using multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP) even without any accurate pre-specified mathematical form of marine environmental variations. The results from sea trial conducted in the South China Sea at a depth of 3000 m demonstrate that the developed method compensates for the sound velocity errors and improves the positioning precision of the seafloor transponder, with the position difference between different data sets better than 46.12 cm, the standard deviation of acoustic time residuals better than 0.15 ms, and the square root of the variance of the position better than 0.41 cm.

Abstract Using GNSS-Acoustic (GNSS-A) technology to establish the seafloor geodetic datum is both feasible and flexible and thus has become an important way to obtain the absolute positions of seafloor control points. However, numerous errors are inevitable in marine surveying, including systematic errors and gross errors caused by GNSS dynamic positioning, inaccurate sound velocity profile measurements, and ocean ambient noise, and their interference will be directly reflected in the positioning results. To accurately calculate the seafloor control point coordinates, this paper first notes that the general error propagation law (EPL) method is defective in dealing with various error factors in GNSS-A positioning. A more rigorous method incorporates the time-varying term of the sound velocity ranging error into the coefficient matrix of the underwater observation equation, and the transducer position error should be considered. Therefore, a Gauss-Helmert (GH) model is used for seafloor control point positioning. Then, considering the dual nonlinearity of the model, a Lagrange objective function is constructed to derive its solution algorithm. On this basis, considering the gross errors polluting of the observations, the robust estimation principle is introduced, and the robust solution steps are given. Finally, simulation experiments and a testing experiment in the sea area near Jiaozhou Bay are used to verify the performance of the new method. The results show that the functional relationship and stochastic model of the nonlinear GH model for seafloor point positioning are reasonably described. Under ideal conditions with no gross errors and either different water depths or different transducer position errors, the accuracy and stability of the new method are both higher than those of the EPL method. When the observations are polluted by gross errors, the robust algorithm of the new method can accurately identify the abnormal information. By improving the robustness of the observation and structure spaces, the positioning precision of the 3D point deviation results can be optimized, and the solution performance of the new method is superior to that of the general method.

Abstract Antalya 2 tide gauge (TG) station is located on the coast of Turkey within the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Relative sea level trends 6.0 ± 1.5 and 6.44 ± 0.45 mm/year over 1985–2009 at Antalya 2 TG are different from the trend (1.6 ± 1.5 mm/year over 1935–1977) at Antalya TG within 10 km. In order to investigate this trend discrepancy, the monthly mean series at Antalya 2 TG is re-analyzed for offsets, outliers and trend estimation. The Zivot-Andrews method and the outlier test result in one offset at 1994.0417 year with magnitude of 71.24 ± 13.48 mm and nine outliers. The series, corrected for the offset and outliers, de-seasonalized and filled for missed points, is identified as trend-stationary process and analyzed for trend estimation by various models. The optimal model providing the lowest Akaike Information Criteria is polynomial linear trend with multiplicative seasonal Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA(2,0)x(1,0)12). The estimated relative sea level trend by the optimal model is 1.77 ± 0.65 mm/year. The large trend discrepancy at Antalya 2 TG is accounted for by one offset primarily (∼71%) and nine outliers (∼3%).

Abstract Chabahar Bay is a semi-enclosed and shallow omega-shaped bay, located on the south-eastern coasts of Iran. The 3D unstructured-grid Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model was employed to study the physical characteristics of water in Chabahar Bay. The correlation coefficients between the model and available measurements were 0.99 and 0.84 for water level and current velocity, respectively. The numerical results show that the depth averaged temperature of the Bay generally decreases from north to south and varies between 20-26 °C during the year. The basin average of annual salinity is 36.1 psu. Hence, the density increases from north to south and is strongly affected by temperature changes. The vertically average of sigma-t varies between 21.5-24.0 kg/m3. In the northern half of the Bay a warm center eddy is formed from March; during July, it strengthened and peaked in August. With Applying EOFs analysis on model surface temperature four principal patterns were determined. EOF1 corresponds to the bathymetry of the region and shows the heat capacity of the Bay, it is in accordance with the monsoon conditions. EOF2, 3, and 4 are corresponding to the effect of the wind. Due to dominant winds a strong upwelling was determined along the western coast.

Abstract Integration of strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) and doppler velocity log (DVL) is usually applied in underwater applications, wherein DVL provides the three-dimensional velocity, and hence the accumulated error of SINS can be compensated. However, the DVL/SINS loosely coupled approach fails in the complex environments on the condition of fewer than three available beams. And the tightly coupled approach divergences with only one direction velocity information from the beam measurement. To solve the problems, a novel tightly coupled method is proposed in this paper, in which the state of UUV motion is considered, and a robust adaptive Kalman filter is utilized to dynamically estimate the observation noise. Experiment results indicate that the proposed method is efficient in UUV missions for beam limited environment.

Abstract During the last one and half decade, Kashmir valley's water bodies have been facing widespread water quality deterioration due to anthropogenic interferences' enhancement. In this context, the present study aims to monitor the water quality of Wular Lake by subjecting the acquired datasets to statistical approaches to infer status about distinctions and similarities among different sampling sites under investigation. The study integrated multiple data sets pertaining to analysis and assessment of water quality parameters, physicochemical concentration values, land use change systems, and water quality index through remote sensing and GIS environments. For limnological characterization of the lake, surface water quality data have been collected from seven randomly selected site pertaining to 22 physicochemical parameters, which were further analyzed. Settlements, agriculture, and horticulture in the lake's immediate vicinity were mapped using LISS IV satellite data of the year 2008–2019. The water quality index under this study comprises 12 measurable physicochemical parameters – pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, calcium content, magnesium content, nitrate nitrogen, chloride, turbidity, potassium, sodium and total alkalinity. Based on WQI values, the whole lake was divided into five zones, comprising least polluted zone (<50), moderately polluted zone (50–100), highly polluted zone (100–200), very highly polluted zone (200–300) and extremely polluted zone (>300). From this study, it has been found that WQI values for site S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 and S7 are 179.62, 149.8, 160.61, 205.21, 200.5, 164.95 and 183.74, respectively. Thus, revealing that site S4 and S5 fall under the 'very highly polluted zone' and the remaining sites S1, S2, S3, S6 and S7 under 'highly polluted zone'. Land use category settlement record a growth rate of +50.79%, horticulture +25.96%, agriculture −11.8% and water body (open waters) −24.3% from the year 2008–2019. The reckless use of fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides in orchards and agricultural farms reinforced by concrete jungles in the immediate vicinity of Wular Lake have also enhanced the nutrient enrichment and deterioration of the water quality. Thus, escalating its scope towards the process of eutrophication.

Abstract Airborne Lidar bathymetry (ALB) has been widely applied in coastal hydrological research due to outstanding advantages in integrated sea-land mapping. This study aims to investigate the classification capability of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for land echoes, shallow water echoes and deep water echoes in multichannel ALB systems. First, the raw data and the response function after deconvolution were input into the network via different channels. The proposed multi-source CNN (MS-CNN) was designed with a one-dimensional (1 D) squeeze-and-excitation module (SEM) and a calibrated reference module (CRM). The classification results were then output by the SoftMax layer. Finally, the accuracy of MS-CNN was validated on the test sets of land, shallow water and deep water. The results show that more than 99.5% have been correctly classified. Besides, it has suggested the best robustness of the proposed MS-CNN compared with other advanced classification algorithms. The results indicate that CNN is a promising candidate for the classification of Lidar bathymetry data.

Abstract Currently, several satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) workflows are based on a variety of satellite imagery which are analyzed by empirical or analytical methods. The latest availability of PRISMA hyperspectral data provides a new opportunity for testing their application in shallow water bathymetry mapping. Here we utilize two Level-2 PRISMA scenes from the Caribbean Sea capturing seafloor areas with diverse benthic features and we analyze them using the shallow water analytical models provided by the water-color simulator (WASI) software. The presented study examines the influence of spatial resolution and end-member spectra on the SDB output. Consequently, in one study area we apply inversion using additional reference spectra and in the other study area we exploit the PRISMA panchromatic band for producing a pan-sharpened, hyperspectral cube for bathymetry inversion. The results show good correlation with reference bathymetry data (sonar and admiralty chart) suggesting that PRISMA imagery has a clear potential in optical bathymetry studies. The use of appropriate end-member spectra assists in enhancing the accuracy of SDB, and pan-sharpened PRISMA imagery assists in improving the results when detailed bathymetry is required. PRISMA imagery can be effectively analyzed with open-source software WASI-2D and thus contribute new bathymetric data to regional-scale seafloor mapping projects.

Abstract In the next generation, the use of dual-frequency Embedded GNSS Chipset in the smart devices, which will be widely used in engineering applications, has been used for the first time in Xiaomi Mi8. Considering this development dynamics, a kinematic test was carried out in the marine environment monitoring with a geodetic GNSS receiver and an android smartphone in Turkey Oyak Port. According to the results of the test, RMSE for horizontal coordinate components were found as 0.0423 m and 5.9493 m for reference solution and PPP-AR solution of geodetic receiver, and reference solution and PPP solution of smartphone, respectively. Moreover, the positional errors of individual epochs were computed as 0.0411 m and 4.6871 m with respect to given order. The solution obtained from Xiaomi Mi8 raw GNSS data with PPP approach provides the Order 2 for hydrographic survey standards IHO S-44 in terms of Total Horizontal Uncertainty (THU).

Abstract Accurate infrastructure monitoring of ports and harbors is a vital operation conducted by the port’s authority. To operate regularly in this highly dynamic environment, we explore the potential of the cutting-edge mobile LiDAR systems (MLS) mounted on a vessel. To generate a high-quality 3 D point cloud that would satisfy the expected accuracy required in the monitoring task, the LiDAR scanner and the positioning and orientation system (POS) must be angularly aligned also known as boresight alignment. In this research, we introduce a boresight alignment methodology adapted to the port infrastructure surveillance based on prefabricated planar targets. After an analysis of planar target simulated data, we propose a boresight alignment site design. Then, we apply this boresight alignment site design in a real-world scenario. Obtained results estimate accurately roll and yaw angles errors with standard deviations of less than 0.002 degrees and pitch angle error with standard deviation less than 0.015 degrees. Finally, we defined a validation site and described the procedure that uses these features to validate the quality of the estimated parameters. The relative comparison of the georeferenced point clouds, before and after boresight alignment demonstrates the mitigation of the boresight systematic error impact on the final point cloud.
