Description
Summary:This technical report briefly summarizes the results of the Arctic Climate Observations using Underwater Sound (ACOUS) experiment conducted in October 1998 - December 1999. The most important scientific achievements of the experiment are presented. The methods of acoustic inversion for acoustic thermometry in the Arctic Ocean are discussed using the conclusions that were made after processing and interpretation of the ACOUS data. Some technical issues are considered to bring about an improvement of the capability of the prospective acoustic thermometry systems, eliminating in particular certain weakness of the implementation of ACOUS experimental scheme. The original document contains color images. Sponsored in part by the Office of Naval Research (High Latitude Programs) and the U. S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation. Prepared in cooperation with Centre for Marine Science and Technology.
