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 16, English, - velocity%20profile
