Use depth/pressure, water temp, and salinity to estimate sound speed.
Additional information
Could accept relevant variable values from user input, or telemetry, or a combination (most ROVs don't have salinity/conductivity sensors)
Would make sonar data more accurate
May need to add v_sound to logging somehow:
Ping360 Ping Viewer integration uses a quantised scan range (highest precision is integer meters), so when analysing it would be possible to programatically determine the v_sound that was used for a given ping by the sample period and number of samples if necessary - I could make a python example of how to do this as part of a more general analysis example, or as a separate 'advanced' one.
Ping1D has no sample period property in the profile messages (or in the protocol at all), but actively uses v_sound for calculations, so perhaps Ping Viewer could send a get v_sound request after every set v_sound command so that it's appropriately logged.
Likely best to use the UNESCO equation, but it may be sufficient/acceptable to use the Coppens* equation (a bit older and not quite as accurate, but has fewer terms and is similar in generality) - both equations (and a few others) detailed here.
*(My) Python example code for Coppens here:
