APPENDIX G: SEAWATER SOUND SPEED AND DENSITY

The temperature, salinity, and sound speed data in tables G-1 through G-4 were provided by A. Fisher, NRaD Code 742 (5 November 1992). I computed density from temperature, salinity, and depth. Sound speed profiles are illustrated in figure G-1. Tables G-1 through G-4 are reproduced as ASCII files on the accompanying disk (SSP.WIN, SSP.SPR, SSP.SMR, and SSP.FAL).
