|
Summary
|
|
Ran a successful test of the TEM upgrades for the USGS 234 kHz SEA
|
|
Submetrix system. Noted improved backscatter dynamic range when compared with
|
|
the older modules, which in turn contributed to better interferometric solutions
|
|
for the swath bathymetry. Collected 6 lines of Submetrix 2000 interferometric
|
|
sidescan, along with 3 casts for sound velocity profiles. These data overlap
|
|
with a data set collected by Benthos, Inc., in which they ran the new C3D
|
|
system, a interferometric sidescan that Benthos is marketing. Will compare
|
|
results from both systems. 20 km continuous data.
