Abstract
A basin-scale acoustic tomography experiment was conducted in
the northeast Pacific from May 1987 to September 1987. In this
thesis, the stability of the forward model is analyzed. There
are large non-linearities in the changes in travel time
between ray paths for the four seasons . I constructed a model
in which the change in warming in the upper 100 m of the ocean
was due only to changes in surface solar irradiance. The value
of the surface solar irradiance anomalies necessary to cause
the tomography results for warming (Spiesberger and Metzger,
1991) was computed. This value was larger than the actual
value of surface solar irradiance anomaly which was computed
using inputs measured by satellite (Chertock, 1989).
