Seismic Oceanography is an interdisciplinary research topic that uses the spatial resolution of the reflection seismology to address issues in oceanography[1]. The method is sensitive to the thermohaline structure of the oceans[2]. Where thermohaline derives from thermo- referring to temperature and -haline referring to salt content, factors which together determine the sound speed and density of sea water[3]. In particular, the results are of interest to physical oceanographers for the study of the ocean's physical attributes including temperature-salinity structure, mixing, internal waves, tides and currents[4].
