Abstract

The long‐range ocean acoustic propagation experiment (LOAPEX), conducted in the NE Pacific Ocean, provided acoustic transmissions from a ship‐suspended source at seven stations spanning a near zonal path of 3200 km. The transmissions were received on several bottom‐mounted horizontal hydrophone arrays distributed about the NE Pacific Ocean Basin. The experiment and a simple inverse method are described and a preliminary thermal ‘‘snapshot’’ of the ocean basin is presented. [Work supported by ONR.]
