MS70 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During RL1606

Description

Multi-frequency (18, 38, 70, 120, 200, and 333 kHz) General Purpose Transceivers (Simrad EK60 GPTs) and Wideband Transceivers (Simrad EK80 WBTs) were configured with split-beam transducers (Simrad ES18-11, ES38B, ES70-7C, ES120-7C, ES200-7C, and ES333-7C, respectively). The transducers were mounted on the bottom of a retractable keel or “centerboard”. The keel was retracted (~ 5-m depth) during calibration, and extended to the intermediate position (~7-m depth) during the survey. Exceptions were made during shallow water operations, when the keel was retracted to ~ 5-m depth; or during times of heavy weather, when the keel was extended to ~9-m depth to provide extra stability and reduce the effect of weather-generated noise. In addition, acoustic data were also collected using an ME70 multibeam echosounder (Simrad), MS70 multibeam sonar (Simrad), and SX90 Omnidirectional echosounder (Simrad).
