noun a scientific technique that uses sound waves to map underwater environments
Utilized for assessing the internal structure of trees and forests by measuring the propagation of sound waves through wood.
Used for inspecting and monitoring the integrity of structures such as bridges and buildings by analyzing the propagation of sound waves within them.
Used for imaging the ocean's internal structure and properties through the propagation of sound waves.
Applied in medical diagnostics to create images of internal body structures using sound waves.
Utilized for studying the Earth's subsurface by sending acoustic signals through the ground and analyzing the received signals.
Acoustic tomography is used by oceanographers to study the properties of the ocean, such as temperature, salinity, and currents. It helps in understanding the dynamics of the ocean and monitoring changes over time.
In civil engineering, acoustic tomography can be used to assess the integrity of structures such as bridges, dams, and tunnels. It helps in detecting any potential weaknesses or defects that may require maintenance or repair.
Marine biologists use acoustic tomography to study marine life, such as fish populations and behavior. It can help in monitoring the distribution of species and their interactions with the environment.
