- Abstract
Seafloor geodetic observation technology is a pivotal method for capturing plate boundary earthquakes and related phenomena. Currently, this task is performed by Global Navigation Satellite System-Acoustic ranging (GNSS-A), a technique that integrates GNSS observations with acoustic ranging. This method involves measuring the round-trip travel time of an acoustic signal between a surface platform and a preinstalled seafloor station, which is then converted into a distance for positioning. While the horizontal positioning accuracy can reach the centimeter level, the vertical accuracy tends to be loser. Recent research has revealed that equipment-dependent distortion of sound waves causes problems for accurate travel time identification, leading to a decrease in vertical component accuracy. In this paper, we conducted an analysis of distortion tendencies using water tank test data and quantitatively identified differences in distortion magnitude related to instruments, angle dependence, and directional dependence attributed to the sea surface platform. We proposed a new identification algorithm, Acoustic Ambiguity Reduction (AAR) method, using a catalog of distortions for each device, and improved the observational capabilities of the vertical component.
