What Does SOFAR Stand For?
SOFAR stands for Sound Fixing And Ranging
SOFAR, or Sound Fixing And Ranging, is an oceanographic technique used for underwater acoustic communication and navigation. This method utilizes sound propagation through water to determine the location of objects or transmit information over long distances. By leveraging the unique properties of sound in marine environments, SOFAR provides valuable data for research, exploration, and monitoring of underwater phenomena.
