MICROBATHYMETRIC SURVEY

Abstract

A bathymetric survey was made in a limited area southwest of Bermuda. Precise depth measurements were made by using the Inverted Echo Sounder, an instrument that measures total water depth while placed a short distance above the bottom. The position of the Inverted Echo Sounder was Determined by acoustic travel times from it to certain fixed locations. A plot of the successful tracks made is given. (Author)
