| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is crucial for improvement in seafloor geodetic measurement to evaluate sound speed variation in ocean. In order to construct a proper ocean model, we conducted intensive continuous measurement of temperature profile in ocean using XBT, which is an expandable thermistor. Based on its obtained data, we proved that short-period variation is mainly caused by internal gravity waves. Using internal wave model, we construct correction method for sound speed, which leads improvement in detecting horizontal movement and even vertical one.
