North Pacific Acoustic Laboratory
Abstract
As the limits of long-range sonar are affected by ocean variability, the overarching goal of this work is to characterize, understand, and predict sound-speed variability in the upper ocean. Sound speed is a function of the ocean state variables temperature T, salinity S, which are themselves affected by such processes as stirring, mixing and internal waves. A long-range goal is thus the inversion of acoustic data to measure these processes.
