IES

...A sonic wave gauge is installed on the ocean floor and measures the change in wave height by the time it takes for sound waves to be reflected off the ocean surface and return. However, as the water gets deeper, it is affected by the change in the speed of sound. This is used to detect the movement of warm and cold water masses, and the IES (inverted echo sounder) is being developed in Japan as well. [Taira Keisuke]...
