Acoustic soundings

Acoustic soundings are a method used to measure the properties of the atmosphere and oceans using sound waves. By sending out sound pulses and analyzing the echoes that return, scientists can gather information about temperature, depth, and pressure. This technique is valuable for understanding weather patterns, ocean currents, and underwater environments. It helps in various fields, including meteorology, oceanography, and environmental monitoring. Essentially, acoustic soundings allow researchers to "listen" to the environment, providing insights that are not easily obtainable through other methods.
