WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from FIXED PLATFORM from 1987-05-01 to 1987-09-30 (NCEI Accession 9500010)
The accession contains one Ocean Acoustic Tomography data set. The sound velocity was collected by Peter Worcester of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA between May 1, 1987 and September 30, 1987. The data was submitted by Dr. Brian Dushaw, University of Washington via FTP. The data was received by NODC via Sid Stillwaugh.
Each file contains all of the ray travel-time data collected by a source/receiver pair during the experiment (three transceivers, six files). The file is broken into three sections: 1) 1st section is a one line text record describing the parameters of the experiment. 2) 2nd section is six lines describing properties of the resolved ray paths. Each column of this section describes the properties of a ray path which corresponds to the same column of travel times of the third section. 3) 3rd section contains the time of transmission (in yearday) and the ray travel times. Each line is a year day and a set of travel times of ray arrivals. Each column is a time series of ray travel times for the ray path which was described in the corresponding column of the second section.
