Determining speed of sound through analog sensors.

Determining speed of sound through analog sensors.

Hi. We are currently planning the deployment of an AWAC for measuring currents and waves and a question was raised up: Is it possible to determine the sound speed through the analogue sensors in a way that it can be corrected automatically every time that the water parameters changes? If yes, how is it done? We are using a SeaPoint turbidity meter and a CT 620 from Valeport.

Thanks in advance, Bruno Simioni.

Dear Bruno,

I am sorry to say that this isn't easily done. If the AWAC isn't on-line it isn't possible at all.

I think it is a better idea doing this in post processing.

Best regards
