Description
Summary:This article discusses the results obtained from performing a test acoustic-hydrological experiment in August 2022 at a marine test site from the coast of Sakhalin Island to the Kita-Yamato Bank in the Sea of Japan. A methodology for preliminary studies in the water area is presented. It is designed to study the climatic variability of the temperature regimes of the aquatic environment based on numerical modeling using the RAY computer program and the NEMO ocean hydrodynamic circulation model. One of the main results is the value of the average temperature of the marine environment calculated with high accuracy on the axis of the underwater sound channel in the Sea of Japan on a thousand-kilometer acoustic path when crossing the vortex system. The appearance of the measuring system, technical means, and methods described in the article can be used as the basis for organizing high-precision operational monitoring of thermodynamic processes in extended marine areas.
