GeoAcoustics Digital Side Scan Sonar

  08/07/2010
GeoAcoustics has launched the Sonar 2094 Digital, based upon the GeoAcoustics Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar. Around a thousand of these systems have been sold since their 1994 launch and hundreds of thousands of line-kilometres have been surveyed across the world's oceans. The system adds to the characteristics of its predecessor the benefits of digital technology.

 

GeoAcoustics Digital Side Scan SonarThe Sonar 2094 Digital is capable of
• Simultaneous dual frequency, 114 kHz and 410 kHz
• 24bit data acquisition offering a dynamic range that makes acquisition AGC and TVG obsolete thus providing repeatable results
• Extended range performance through 20 MHz raw data sampling and dynamic digital filtering techniques
• Improved resolution
• Very long cable operation


Sonar 2094 Digital incorporates the established 159D towfish design which is now equipped with new, fully digital electronics, supported by a wide bandwidth link to the new Digital Side Scan Transceiver deck unit.
The towfish can be supplied with attitude and/or depth sensors options as well as an RS232 channel for a magnetometer interface. Its standard depth rating is 1000m with a 2000m-rated towfish available.
The Digital Side Scan Transceiver has an onboard Windows PC for acquisition software installation and can be delivered with an inbuilt GPS interface.


Upgrade paths are available for existing GeoAcoustics Dual Frequency Side Scan users.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
