The term "sound speed gradient" generally refers to the variation of sound speed with respect to a particular variable, such as depth in a medium or distance from a source. This concept is particularly relevant in fields such as acoustics, oceanography, and meteorology. In the context of oceanography, for example, the sound speed gradient describes how the speed of sound changes with depth in the ocean. Several factors influence this, including temperature, salinity, and pressure.
