Abstract Submarine bubble plumes are associated with the fluid migration at hydrothermal systems, cold seeps, serpentinization processes, and areas of active tectonics. This work aims to investigate the potential of the seismic oceanography method for the detection and investigation of processes related to submarine bubble plumes formation. This is achieved through numerical simulation, for simultaneously acquired seismic reflection and physical oceanographic data. A submarine bubble plume model is established that matches the recorded characteristics and inherent properties of actual plumes, and synthetic shot records and seismic oceanography sections are generated from which the seismic responses of submarine bubble plumes can be identified. Seismic attribute analysis is then performed on the profiles to further investigate and analyze the seismic responses of submarine bubble plumes. The numerical simulation and synthetic examples shown here demonstrate the feasibility of the seismic oceanography method to investigate the dynamics of processes related to submarine bubble plumes.

利用地震海洋学对海底气泡羽流进行建模和检测

摘要 海底气泡羽流与热液系统、冷泉、蛇纹石化过程和活动构造区的流体迁移有关。这项工作旨在研究地震海洋学方法在探测和调查与海底气泡羽流形成相关的过程中的潜力。这是通过数值模拟实现的，可同时获取地震反射和物理海洋学数据。建立与记录的实际羽流特征和固有特性相匹配的海底气泡羽流模型，并生成合成炮记录和地震海洋学剖面，从中可以识别海底气泡羽流的地震响应。然后对剖面进行地震属性分析，以进一步调查和分析海底气泡羽流的地震响应。此处显示的数值模拟和合成示例证明了地震海洋学方法在研究与海底气泡羽流相关的过程动力学方面的可行性。
