Comparison of Fleet Numerical Weather Central acoustic forecast system and the Integrated Carrier Acoustic Prediction System (ICAPS)
The Naval Oceanographic Office developed the Integrated Carrier Acoustic Prediction System (ICAPS) in order to perform on-scene acoustic forecasts for the Fleet. To evaluate the system, bathythermographic information was obtained for points in the North Atlantic during the naval exercise "SEACO...
