Dramatic changes have been observed in the Arctic Ocean in the past decades in terms of ocean temperature and salinity structure and ice-cover. Because sound travels long distances underwater, scientists have been able to use acoustic signals to localize oceanographic platforms and vehicles underwater and ice, but the way sound travels depends on the oceanography.
