Abstract: Modeling of the vertical distribution of the sound speed in water is useful during determination of the depth on the basis of the acoustic method, modeling refraction phenomena and determination the trajectory of the acoustic wave. For modeling 1D functions (vertical distribution of the sound speed) and 2D (surface of the sea bottom for hydrography) uniform B-Splines was used. In this paper description of uniform B-Splines and description and application of nonuniform B-Splines have been presented.
