ACOUSTIC IMPEDANCE OF SEA WATER AS A FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND SALINITY

Abstract

The acoustic impedance (pc) of sea water is presented as a function of temperature, pressure and salinity. This acoustic impedance has been calculated from empirical equations developed at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory to represent the velocity of sound and density of sea water as functions of the parameters temperature, pressure, and salinity. Tables of the calculated data and graphs are given.
