Sponsor National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (Other-Fed)
Summary The purpose of this research is to produce monthly mean temperature and salinity fields from observational data provided by the National Ocean Data Center using the optimal spectral decomposition method. Temporally varying sound speed profiles can be computed from these temperature and salinity fields. This will greatly enhance the capability of the Navy's anti-submarine warfare, mine warfare and special operations.
