Acoustic Properties of Shelves: South Atlantic Margins.

Acoustic information has been compiled from 5 regions of the South Atlantic as part of the continuing program of shelf studies. Results from each region are presented. Each regional series shows the locations of sonobuoys that were used to compile the velocity information, and the outlines of region...

Description
Summary:Acoustic information has been compiled from 5 regions of the South Atlantic as part of the continuing program of shelf studies. Results from each region are presented. Each regional series shows the locations of sonobuoys that were used to compile the velocity information, and the outlines of regions where velocity functions have been computed. The velocity functions are tabulated and keyed to the regions. Approximate sediment isopachs contoured in units of kilometers are shown, and approximate seafloor sound velocities contoured in km/sec. Wherever possible, previously published material was used. (Author)
