An improved deep-water multibeam echosounder for R/V Sally Ride (AGOR 28)

Abstract

"The use of underwater sound is fundamental to many disciplines in oceanography, including geology, geophysics, ocean acoustics, ocean physics, fisheries, undersea communications, and marine mammals studies. Improving our ability to transmit and receive acoustic energy from oceanographic research vessels therefore has the potential to advance our sensing capabilities across a broad range of scientific inquiry.We propose to procure, install, calibrate and commission a low-frequency, narrow-beam acoustic subbottom profiling instrucment."
