EK80 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During HB2305

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-09-05T00:00:00.000+00:00
A long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (LRAUV) was tested for collecting underwater stereo imagery of the seabed and biology on the seabed. The immediate use of the LRAUV is to supplement the scallop survey, which is currently done using the towed system, Habcam. In addition to LRAUV evaluation, we tested and evaluated the newly-installed Kongsberg EK80 systems. We tested continuous wave (CW) and frequency modulated (FM) signals, data acquistion rates, and calibrated the systems in CW and FM modes.
