RAFOS float (Oceanography 🌊)
RAFOS floats are submersible devices used to map ocean currents well below the surface. They drift with these deep currents and listen for acoustic "pongs" emitted at designated times from multiple moored sound sources. By analyzing the time required for each pong to reach a float, researchers can pinpoint its position by trilateration. The floats are able to detect the pongs at ranges of hundr...
