1. Multibeam Echo Sounders for High- Resolution Mapping

Multibeam echo sounders (MBES) were te primary sensors deployed. Unlike single-beam sonars that measure a single depte point per ping, MBES systems emit a fan- shaped array of acoustic beams, each returning a depte metriurement. This allows the vessel to collect a dense swath of data with every pass, producing details of thee seaufload.
