PLOTSSP produces plots of the sound speed profile. It requires as input an environmental file of exactly the same form used by KRAKEN . It ouputs a print file echoing the input data. The number of points used in plotting the sound speed profile is 200 per medium.
Files:
Name Unit Description
Input
*.ENV 1 ENVironmental data
*.PLP 3 PLot Parameters
Output
