However, it's important to note that the speed of sound in water can vary depending on factors such as:
* Temperature: Sound travels faster in warmer water.
* Salinity: Sound travels faster in saltier water.
* Pressure: Sound travels faster at higher pressures (deeper in the ocean).
For more accurate calculations, you can use the following formula:
c = 1402.39 + 5.039T - 0.054T^2 + 0.00023T^3 + 1.34(S - 35) + 0.016D
where:
* c = speed of sound in meters per second
* T = temperature in degrees Celsius
* S = salinity in parts per thousand
* D = depth in meters
