Echo-sounding tables (3rd Edition) were prepared by D.J.T. Carter of the Marine
Information and Advisory Service (United Kingdom) for the conversion of raw echo-sounding
measurements of ocean depths to values compensated for variations of sound speed with
regional density profiles. The tables were computerized by Carter and offer standard
velocity-depth corrections for 85 different regions covering the globe. The database
consists of algorithms for determining correction zones by latitude-longitude, and
interpolation tables for each zone.
