Abstract :
This research is focused on the effect of the most important environmental conditions (temperature, salinity and wind speed) and distance between transmitter and receiver for the underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) system. These conditions may change the characteristics of the communication channel and need to be taken into account during implementation process. As an example, we chose different regions from Turkey to figure out the most suitable areas for UWAC.
