Objectives

• Understanding waves propagation in water and sonar equationUnderstanding the concept of different appliances used underwater in Hydrographic Survey

Outcomes

Explain how transducer parametersimpact upon beam characteristicsUsing appropriate units, describe acoustic wave behavior with reference to physical properties of the water columnDetail sources of noise and the impact ofnoise on operation of acoustic systemsSet up, deploy and operate a single beamecho sounder.Interpret echo sounder returns throughdifferentiation between return signals.Set up, deploy and operate side scansonar.Define characteristics of beams in relation to transducer settings.
