Using long-range transmissions in the Beaufort Gyre to test the sound-speed equation at high pressure and low temperature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An ocean acoustic tomography array with a radius of 150 km was deployed in the central Beaufort Gyre during 2016-2017 for the Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment. Five 250-Hz transceivers were deployed in a pentagon, with a sixth transceiver at the center. A long vertical receiving array was located northwest of the central mooring. Travel-time anomalies for refracted-surface-reflected acoustic ray paths were calculated relative to travel times computed for a range-dependent sound-speed field from in situ temperature and salinity observations. Travel-time inversions for the three-dimensional sound-speed field consistent with the uncertainties in travel time [∼2 ms root mean square (rms)], receiver and source positions (∼ 3 m rms), and sound speed calculated from conductivity-temperature-depth casts could not be obtained without introducing a deep sound-speed bias (below 1000 m). Because of the precise nature of the travel-time observations with low mesoscale and internal wave variability, the conclusion is that the internationally accepted sound-speed equation (TEOS-10) gives values at high pressure (greater than 1000 m) and low temperature (less than 0 °C) that are too high by 0.14-0.16 m s-1.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
