Experiments for Multibeam Backscatter Adjustments on the NOAA Ship Fairweather

Oceans (2006)

Luciano Fonseca Brian R. Calder Mark Wetzler

A series of experiments were conducted to adjust and normalize the acoustic backscatter acquired by Reson 8111 and 8160 systems. The dependency of the backscatter on the receiver gain, transmit power, pulse width and acquisition mode was analyzed. Empirical beam patterns are calculated as the difference between the backscatter measured by the sonars and the expected backscatter. Expected acoustic backscatter is estimated based on a mathematical model
