Abstract We develop a new approach to estimating bottom parameters based on the Bayesian theory in deep ocean. The solution in a Bayesian inversion is characterized by its posterior probability density (PPD), which combines prior information about the model with information from an observed data set. Bottom parameters are sensitive to the transmission loss (TL) data in shadow zones of deep ocean. In this study, TLs of different frequencies from the South China Sea in the summer of 2014 are used as the observed data sets. The interpretation of the multidimensional PPD requires the calculation of its moments, such as the mean, covariance, and marginal distributions, which provide parameter estimates and uncertainties. Considering that the sensitivities of shallow-zone TLs vary for different frequencies of the bottom parameters in the deep ocean, this research obtains bottom parameters at varying frequencies. Then, the inversion results are compared with the sampling data and the correlations between bottom parameters are determined. Furthermore, we show the inversion results for multi-frequency combined inversion. The inversion results are verified by the experimental TLs and the numerical results, which are calculated using the inverted bottom parameters for different source depths and receiver depths at the corresponding frequency.
