  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. 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. Echo sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_sounding

    Echo sounding or depth sounding is the use of sonar for ranging, normally to determine the depth of water . It involves transmitting acoustic waves into water and recording the time interval between emission and return of a pulse; the resulting time of flight , along with knowledge of the speed of sound in water, allows determining the distance ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Sofar bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofar_bomb

    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 ...

  7. Sonar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonar

    Sonar. French F70 type frigates (here, La Motte-Picquet) are fitted with VDS (variable depth sonar) type DUBV43 or DUBV43C towed sonars. Sonar (sound navigation and ranging or sonic navigation and ranging) [2] is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, measure distances (ranging ...
