38. As indicated in Sec. II, the ATOC and AST experiments took place over a period of approximately 9 months. Temperature and salinity measurements were made at the deployment and the recovery of the VLAs, but no environmental measurements are available for the intervening months. This analysis uses monthly profiles from the ECCO database to derive the mode shapes and design the mode filters. ECCO stands for Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean.
