  • Abstract
    This paper examines the current state of underwater sensor networks (UWSN) technologies and explores the nature of dynamic emissive power applicable therein. Based on the fact that sound speed increases towards the seafloor with higher depth pressure or the sea surface with warmer temperature in the underwater, we propose a number of efficient ways of utilizing power strength to control output sound power and accordingly conduct a preliminary underwater sensor network with energy efficiency. In what follows, we´ll first discuss the oceanographic requirements, architecture and applications of UWSN with a focus on the emissive power and then utilize sensors in compliance with basic oceanographic phenomena such as water temperature, salinity and pressure, to prove its merits.
