In this article we will walk through calculating monthly Sea‑surface temperature (SST) statistics for the North Atlantic using the Analysis‑Ready, Cloud‑Optimised (ARCO) ERA5 dataset from ECMWF and visualising them on a map.
Sound travels faster or slower depending on temperature, salinity and pressure, so an accurate sound speed profile (SSP) and absorption coefficient of seawater are essential for converting raw echosounder signals into meaningful depths and calibrated backscattering strengths.
