Oceanographic Analysis Manual for ICAPS Users

Abstract

This report is intended to acquaint Naval personnel having limited oceanographic training and experience with an approach to analysis of oceanographic data as applied to acoustic performance predictions. Special emphasis is placed on computer-assisted techniques. The relationship of acoustics and water masses and ocean fronts provides background information for oceanographic analysis. Data requirements, services, and analyses are discussed. ODA, a computer-assisted analysis technique, is also introduced.
