<dd>As part of the Greenland Sea Project Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Scripps Institute of Oceanography deployed six acoustic tomography transceiver moorings to measure variability of the Greenland Sea gyre through a cooling cycle from September 1988 to August 1989. Using a set of Greenland Sea acoustic tomography data provided by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution this thesis investigated the importance of incorporating acoustic path changes in the construction of the tomographic inverse solution. A comparison of the inverse solutions for changes in sound speed using non-corrected and corrected acoustic multipaths was conducted. Although the two inverse solutions are qualitatively similar, significant quantitative differences exist. These differences indicate that it is necessary to account for changes in the acoustic multipaths for the generation of accurate Greenland Sea acoustic tomography maps.
