  2. SOFAR channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOFAR_channel

    The SOFAR channel (short for sound fixing and ranging channel), or deep sound channel (DSC), [1] is a horizontal layer of water in the ocean at which depth the speed of sound is at its minimum. The SOFAR channel acts as a waveguide for sound, and low frequency sound waves within the channel may travel thousands of miles before dissipating.

  3. 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, as ...

  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. Sound speed profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_speed_profile

    A sound speed profile shows the speed of sound in water at different vertical levels. It has two general representations: tabular form, with pairs of columns corresponding to ocean depth and the speed of sound at that depth, respectively. a plot of the speed of sound in the ocean as a function of depth, where the vertical axis corresponds to ...

  6. Audio bit depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth

    The number of possible values that an integer bit depth can represent can be calculated by using 2 n, where n is the bit depth. [1] Thus, a 16-bit system has a resolution of 65,536 (2 16) possible values. Integer PCM audio data is typically stored as signed numbers in two's complement format. [2]

  7. Low Frequency Analyzer and Recorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Frequency_Analyzer_and...

    A working model of the Low Frequency Analyzer and Recorder was delivered in May 1951 which operated with real time analysis of a frequency band of 1 to 1/2 Hz. Along with the working model was a proposal for hydrophones, cables, processing systems and beamforming so that a hydrophone array could present multiple azimuthal beams to be displayed.

  8. HuffPost looked at how killers got their guns for the 10 deadliest mass shootings over the past 10 years. To come up with the list, we used Mother Jones’ database, which defines mass shootings as “indiscriminate rampages in public places” that kill three or more people.

  9. FLAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC

    The rest of the header contains the number of samples, position of the frame, channel assignment, and optionally the sample rate and bit depth. The data block contains the audio information. [10] Metadata in FLAC precedes the audio. Properties like the sample rate and the number of channels are always contained in the metadata.
