A method for estimating the water speed of a first acoustic node D belonging to a network of acoustic nodes, at least some of the acoustic nodes being arranged along towed acoustic linear antennas (S). The method comprises steps of: a) defining a N-dimensional base, the center of which is said first acoustic node and comprising a single axis, when N=1, or N non-colinear axes, when N=2 or N=3, each said axis being associated with a base vector extending from said first acoustic node to another acoustic node; b) estimating an amplitude of the water speed, as a function of: for each given other acoustic node defining a said base vector: an acoustic propagation duration of an acoustic signal transmitted from the first acoustic node to the given other acoustic node, and an acoustic propagation duration of an acoustic signal transmitted from the given other acoustic nodes to the first acoustic node; and a value c of the underwater acoustic sound velocity. |
