Zusammenfassung:The Kaneohe source experiment in the 1980s demonstrated the feasibility of using sound to monitor global warming trends in the ocean with sound. This experiment used a source cabled to shore and the Navy's SOSUS stations for receivers. The GAMOT group is developing new instruments to obtain similar data in near-real time but at about one-eighth the cost of instruments cabled to shore. This approach has the potential for obtaining global ocean measurements of temperature at 500 km resolution less expensively than that routinely expended for measuring atmospheric temperatures. GAMOT is using state-of-the art models of the ocean to interpret temperature changes.< >
