Abstract

A method and system for determining the effective sound velocity between a source of sound energy located at an initial depth Z and an actual target located at another depth. A system utilizing a device such as a computer or microprocessor is used for implementing the method of the present invention. An effective sound velocity (“ESV”) matrix is generated wherein ESV values are a function of actual target depth and actual target elevation angle. The ESV matrix is then used to determine the ESV between a source of sound energy located at an initial depth Z and an actual target located at any depth between Z and a final target depth Z .
