*“SOA is "Speed of Advance" and is in knots (nautical miles of 6076 feet/hour).  It would be computed by calculating the distance between the positions in the previous and current SEAS (Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System) and dividing by the time between the reports (generally 6 hours). SOA would be meaningful for a vessel going from one place to another but generally would not for an oceanographic vessel doing station work such as WECOMA was on the Sherr cruise since the ship is operating at various courses and speeds during the 6 hour period.”
