... Meteorology and Oceanography Command). This time measurement is used to calculate the depth to the ocean floor with the following equation: D = (V × T)/2, where D = the depth to the ocean floor, V = the velocity of sound in sea water, and T = round-trip traveltime. Time is divided by two in the equa ...
