Summary

In November 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey collected high-resolution multibeam sonar data in the vicinity of Eel Pond, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts using a dual-head Teledyne Seabat T20-R multibeam echo sounder (MBES). The main objective of this survey was to evaluate new sonar system features prior to their use in future field activities. In addition to bathymetry and relative acoustic backscatter data, normalized acoustic backscatter data were also collected. Unlike relative backscatter data, normalized backscatter data compensate for adjustments made to sonar power, gain, absorption, spreading, and frequency parameters made during acquisition. In order for backscatter intensity levels to remain consistent along survey lines, and [...]
