The invention belongs to the technical field of marine
acoustics application of three-dimensional temperature-
salinity-depth data, and particularly relates to a high-resolution sound velocity profile
data compression method based on empirical orthogonal function
decomposition. The method specifically comprises the following steps of providing data by using a high-resolution marine reanalysis product, and converting by using a sound velocity formula to obtain the
seawater sound velocity profile data; according to the characteristics of the technical field of marine
acoustics application, extending the high-resolution and long-
time sequence sound velocity profile data under a certain space-time dimension to a
seabed sedimentary layer; using a
feature vector of a main mode as a primary function of the sound velocity profile empirical orthogonal function
decomposition, and compressing and expressing the high-resolution and long-
time sequence sound velocity profile information under the certain space-time dimension. According to the invention, the technical scheme of obtaining sound velocity profile
data compression from a high-resolution ocean reanalysis product is realized; the effective compression of the sound velocity profile data under the certain time-space dimension is realized, and the beneficial effect that the compression rate of the
high resolution and long-
time sequence sound velocity profile data is more than 90%, is obtained.
