Function:

GobyMOOS request/response service application for providing the sound speed profile and the associated bathymetry along a vertical slice of ocean separating an acoustic source and receiver. Returns the requested SVP slice in a protobuf format compatible with the iBellhop acoustic modeling service application. The sound speed is extracted from a from a 4D (time,Lat,Lon,Depth) NetCdf representation of the temporal and spatial distribution of the temperature and salinity in a database or produced by an ocean circulation model. Supports NetCDF formats for several modeling frameworks, including HYCOM/NCOM, MSEAS, and databases such as GDEM. It also supports NetCdf files with the Lamss-EEOF representation of the sound speed profile.
