Ocean Inversion

Ocean inversion is a scientific technique used to study underwater conditions by analyzing how sound waves travel through the ocean. Researchers send sound signals into the water and measure how they change as they bounce back or reach different sensors. By examining these data, scientists can infer details about the ocean’s temperature, salinity, and current patterns, much like a medical ultrasound reveals information inside the body. This method helps improve our understanding of ocean processes, supporting climate research, submarine navigation, and environmental monitoring without the need for direct, invasive sampling.
