  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

    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 ...

  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. Project Mogul - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mogul

    Project Mogul. Project Mogul (sometimes referred to as Operation Mogul) was a top secret project by the US Army Air Forces involving microphones flown on high-altitude balloons, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. The project was carried out from 1947 until early 1949.

  6. SOSUS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOSUS

    The original system was capable of oceanic surveillance with the long ranges made possible by exploiting the deep sound channel, or SOFAR channel. An indication of ranges is the first detection, recognition and reporting of a Soviet nuclear submarine coming into the Atlantic through the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap by an array ...

  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 ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Missile Impact Location System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_Impact_Location_System

    The Missile Impact Location System or Missile Impact Locating System (MILS) [note 1] is an ocean acoustic detection system designed to locate the impact position of test missile nose cones at the ocean's surface and then the position of the cone itself for recovery from the ocean bottom. The systems were installed in the missile test ranges ...
