Unveiling The Depths: Sonar Technology For Precise Ocean Depth Measurement And Seabed Characterization
Sonar measures ocean depth by emitting high-frequency sound waves that travel through the water and reflect off the seabed. By calculating the time it takes for the waves to travel to the bottom and back, sonar determines the distance to the bottom. The speed of sound in water depends on density, temperature, and salinity, which…
