Sound Channel Axis Velocity Experiment (SCAVE)
Where SOFAR explosive charges were fired at the depth of the sound axis off Antigua and the resulting signals received and processed at Eleuthera and Bermuda. In this experiment, taking place in 1961, travel times were ascertained to within 30 ms with rms variations estimated at at 200 ms over a period of 27 months with time scales of a few months. The variations were most likely caused by the mesoscale variability that characterises this region.
