Abstract: A sound speed profile inversion method based on mode signal and polynomial fitting is proposed for the limitation of using the empirical orthogonal function to represent the sound speed profile in unknown environment. A concept of mode signal and the distribution characteristics of deep sea are given. It is proven through theoretical analysis and simulation that the low-order polynomial fitting can be used for presenting the sound speed profile in seabed.The five-order polynomial fitting can be used for accurately presenting the sound speed profile in 2 000 m-depth sea water. And in the inversion process, the copy mode signal vector is obtained by polynomial fitting of different parameters, and the mode signal is obtained from the test data by using the pulse acoustic signal, of which the parameters are optimized by genetic algorithm. The inversion performances of vertical array, single hydrophone and non-SRBR signal are simulated and analyzed by taking typical Munk profile as an example. It is concluded that the higher the order of polynomial is, the better the fitting effect of sound speed profile is. When a certain error is allowed, the lower order can be used for fitting the sound speed profile. The simulated results show that the performance of sound speed profile inversion using a single hydrophone is close to that of the vertical array, and the inversion performance under the condition of unknown seabed parameters can be improved by using the non-SRBR mode signal inversion. And finally, the performance of the proposed method is verified by using the pulse signal received by the single hydrophone in 4 000 m-depth sea water (distance: 180 km, and receiving and transmitting depth: 100 m). The results show that the inversion error of sound speed profile is less than 0.2 m/s. Key
