Figure 1.　The ATOC array. The array spans most of the North Pacific Ocean. Acoustic paths to the various receivers from the Kauai and Pioneer Seamount acoustic sources are shown. Paths noted by heavy lines are those for which ray travel time data have been derived. Paths noted by light lines have weaker or noisier receptions in which clear ray arrivals are not evident, but travel time data may eventually be derived for these paths. Modified from (2).
