Simultaneous Real Time Micro-bathymetric Data from a Laser Line Scanning System and Acoustic Backscatter

Abstract

The long term objective of this research is to understand the processes that are involved in the temporal and spatial scales of the evolution of the microbathymetry of the sea floor. As part of the high frequency acoustic backscatter program, the results of our bottom bathymetry will be used by acousticians in order to validate physical models which aim to provide an understanding of the interaction of sound with the sea floor.
