Description
The velocity of sound in the sea is not a constant, hence sound rays are subject to refraction. The work described here, attempts to model the distortion of the acoustic 'pancake', emitted when a neutrino with over a joule of energy, scatters in the sea. The detection of such events by hypothetical arrays of hydrophones, distributed over volumes of several cubic kilometres is discussed
