Abstract

The Sun-based oceanographic analysis package, SOTS (SASEA On The Sun), was developed to provide near-real-time analysis of oceanographic and acoustic conditions during large-scale at-sea experiments and underwater system development tests. SOTS can be ship-based, land-based, or both. The system enables scientists participating in such tests to quickly evaluate the oceanographic/acoustic conditions present and to respond to changes in conditions or differences between the expected and actual environments. SOTS capabilities include profile editing, database utilities, statistical tools, and graphical displays. Because of the many oceanographic and acoustic data analysis capabilities and applications that exist in the SOTS system potential applications include oceanographic site assessments, modeling and analysis of data fields, generation of 3D sound speed fields, and acoustic tomography
