Description |
The western North Atlantic showing the locations of two experiments employing ocean acoustic tomography. AMODE, the "Acoustic Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment" (1991-2), was designed to study ocean dynamics in an area away from the Gulf Stream, and SYNOP (1988-9) was designed to synoptically measure aspects of the Gulf Stream. The colors show a snapshot of sound speed at 300 m depth derived from a high-resolution numerical ocean model. One of the key motivations for employing tomography is that the measurements give averages over the turbulent ocean. |
