One way to monitor global warming is to measure the average temperature of the ocean. Researchers are doing this by measuring the time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. At a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold steady near 4∘C, the average sound speed is 1480m/s. It's known from laboratory measurements that the sound speed increases 4.0m/s for every 1.0∘C increase in temperature. In one experiment, where sounds generated near California are detected in the South Pacific, the sound waves travel 7600 km. If the smallest time change that can be reliably detected is 1.0 s, what is the smallest change in average temperature that can be measured?

Fft review: linspace, fs, fftshift, nfft 1. generate one second of a cosine of w,-10hz sampled at f, = 100hz and assign it to x. define a tt as your time axis 2. take 64 points fft. 3. as you remember, the dft (which the fft implements) computes n samples of s2t where k-0,1,2, n -1. plot the magnitude of this 64-points fft at range 0 to 63, what do you think of this graph? 4â·to get the x-axis into a hz-frequency form, plot this 64-points fft between-50 to 50 (the 100hz sampling rate) and have n-points between them. 5. according to your figure, what frequency is this cosine wave at? 6. remember that the fft is evaluating from 0 to 2ď€. we are used to viewing graphs from-ď€ to ď€. therefore, you need to shift your graph. 7. now according to your shifted graph. what frequency is this at? 8. note that the spikes have long drop-offs? try a 1024-point dft. note that the peak is closer to 10 and the drop-off is quicker. although, now sidelobes are an issue
