Description:HARPO stands for Hamiltonian Acoustic Ray-tracing Program for the Ocean. This FORTRAN computer program traces the three-dimensional paths of acoustic rays through model oceans by numerically integrating Hamilton's equations, which are a differential expression of Fermat's principle. The user specifies an ocean model by writing closed-form formulas for its three-dimensional current and sound-speed distribution, and by defining the depth of the bottom as a function of geographic latitude and longitude.
