Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for determining an effective sound velocity in the deep sea. The method is applied to an apparatus for determining an effective sound velocity in the deep sea having a transmission point, a receiving point, and an underwater mobile carrier. The transmission point is installed on the sea surface such that the depth of the transmission point is unchanged. The receiving point is installed on the underwater mobile carrier such that the depth of the receiving point changes with movement of the underwater mobile carrier. The underwater mobile carrier can measure a sound velocity profile between the transmission point and the receiving point and a horizontal distance between the transmission point and the receiving point.
