GD3206Hydro-acoustic SurveyWeek #01: Introduction

Why?

Hydro-acoustic is the most important tool in hydrographic survey It employs propagation of sound through water Dynamic phenomena across sea level (e.g. tides and waves), water column (e.g. current and turbidity) and seabed (e.g. bathymetry and sediment) are underwater features 'transparent' to acoustic

Earth’s surface is mostly covered by water

Water is transparent to acoustic

Mapping of seafloor has been advanced since the development of hydro-acoustic

With respect to light (i.e. electromagnetic wave) sound propagates more efficiently in the water

Survey, Surveying and Hydro-acoustic

Survey is an activity of collecting data from a ‘population’Surveying is measurement of dimensional relationships, as of horizontal distances, elevations, directions, and angles, on the earth's surfaceHydro-acoustic; hydro=water, acoustic=sound; use of sound for studying water-related phenomena

Hydro-acoustic Survey?

Collection of data from sea surface, water column and seabed using hydro-acoustic instruments

Homework

Construct a single page writing based on internet resources survey on one of numbers of hydro-acoustic devices and structurize your writing according to the following syllabus:

Title (name of device, manufacturer, etc.)Technical specification (working frequency, etc.)Example of uses (measured parameters, etc.)Advantage and limitations (usefulness, constraints, etc.)Source of information
