The deeper you go, the more water above you is pressing down on you. Does this increase water density the deeper you go?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year agoYes. Pressure and temperature are the main factors influencing the speed of sound through water, which is very important when calibrating sonars as you need to know how quickly the sound will travel to know how far away a response is.
