Abstract
Ocean acoustic tomography was first developed by Munk and Wunsch (1979), Munk et al. (1995) and who used it to generate temperature profile of sea water using acoustics. Cornuelle (1985, 2008) have used tomographic methods to generate temperature profiles. It has been already reported in literature that a temperature difference of 1 °C in sea water results in a difference of 4 m/s in speed of acoustic waves passing through it. This indicates that waves passing through different temperatures will have different time of flight to reach the same distance. This phenomenon can be used to regenerate the temperature profile of the path traversed by the wave (ray) from projection data. Sea water acts as a good medium for sound waves to travel long distances. These waves get destructed by many ways such as noise produced by naval ships, noise produced by sea mammals and other similar sounds.
