The traditional means of acoustic monitoring in the water column builds on the experience of the SOSUS project (e.g., Mikhalevsky, 1999), and consists of deploying hydrophones within the SOFAR channel, the layer of low acoustic velocity extending between depths of approximately 600 to 1800 m in the world's oceans, and functioning as a waveguide...
