The link below describes the deployment of an acoustic tomography
source/receiver mooring from the R/V Revelle. This mooring was deployed
for the Hawaiian Ocean Mixing Experiment (H.O.M.E.) project. The page shows
various stages of mooring deployment in a series of photos with extended captions.
A Day in the Life of an Acoustic Tomography Mooring
During 1999-2 an international collaboration wrote a paper for the OceanObs '99 conference held in St. Rafael, FR in the fall of 1999. The manuscript was prepared for the proceedings of the conference. The final paper includes a great deal of review material. (March 2001/Final version December 2001) (8MB pdf file). The reference for this paper is:

Bruce Howe and I put together a generic poster for tomography based on the OceanObs paper . You can download this 8 MB POSTER as a pdf file. It is set up to print a 36"X72" poster. This poster was completed in 2001.
Class notes on representers for acoustic tomography and a shallow-water ocean model. These notes stem from work I did while attending Andrew Bennett's summer school on data assimilation during summer 1999. The document was written in December 1999. Representers for Tomography (272 KB pdf file)

own sound speed profile and click the run button to see the rays traced in real time! Requires
java.
