Because of variations of sound velocity with depth, sound rays are bent as they propagate from point to point. ... In order to trace the path of a ray, the velocity profile is divided into layers of constant velocity and paths are then computed by Snell's law for rays leaving the source at different angles. In earlier work various types of analog computers were used but digital computers, are now favoured. 1, record 3, English, - velocity%20profile

[...] l'importance des relevés bathythermiques traduits en profils de célérité, c'est-à-dire en vitesse du son en fonction de l'immersion, est grande en sonar. Ces profils servent à établir (de façon instantanée dans les traceurs de rayons modernes) les trajets sonores à partir d'une source placée de façon quelconque. 2, record 3, French, - profil%20de%20c%C3%A9l%C3%A9rit%C3%A9
