  2. SOFAR channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOFAR_channel

    At both Perth and Bermuda the sound channel axis occurs at a depth of around 1,200 m (3,937 ft). Where the path meets the Antarctic Convergence at 52º south there is no deep sound channel but a 30 m (98 ft) in depth surface duct and a shallow sound channel at 200 m (656 ft). As the path turns northward, a station at 43º south, 16º east ...

  3. Marine mammals and sonar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_mammals_and_sonar

    The SOFAR channel (short for "sound fixing and ranging channel"), or deep sound channel (DSC), [4] is a horizontal layer of water in the ocean centered around the depth at which the speed of sound is at a minimum. The SOFAR channel acts as a waveguide for sound, and low frequency sound waves within the channel may travel thousands of miles ...

  4. RAFOS float - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAFOS_float

    The SOFAR channel (short for Sound Fixing and Ranging channel), or deep sound channel (DSC), is a horizontal layer of water in the ocean at which depth the speed of sound is minimal, in average around 1200 m deep. [2] It acts as a wave-guide for sound, and low frequency sound waves within the channel may travel thousands of miles before ...

  5. Sofar bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofar_bomb

    In oceanography, a sofar bomb (Sound Fixing And Ranging bomb), occasionally referred to as a sofar disc, [1] is a long-range position-fixing system that uses impulsive sounds in the deep sound channel ( SOFAR channel) of the ocean to enable pinpointing of the location of ships or crashed planes. The deep sound channel is ideal for the device ...

  6. Echo sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_sounding

    Echo sounding is a special purpose application of sonar used to locate the bottom. Since a historical pre- SI unit of water depth was the fathom, an instrument used for determining water depth is sometimes called a fathometer. Most charted ocean depths are based on an average or standard sound speed.

  7. Underwater acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustics

    Underwater acoustics (also known as hydroacoustics) is the study of the propagation of sound in water and the interaction of the mechanical waves that constitute sound with the water, its contents and its boundaries. The water may be in the ocean, a lake, a river or a tank. Typical frequencies associated with underwater acoustics are between 10 ...
