Open Ocean Measurement of the Source Lvel of the SeaBeam 2112 Sonar aboard R/V Revelle with MPL's Phantom DS4 ROV

De Moustier该奖项授予加州大学圣地亚哥分校，将支持在R/V Roger Revelle上进行多波束声纳系统在深海条件下的测试，R/V Roger Revelle是一艘科考船，由加州大学圣地亚哥分校的斯克里普斯海洋研究所运营，是大学-国家实验室系统(UNLS)船队的一部分。测试将使用遥控车辆和精确导航进行。它们将准确地确定多波束系统在工作模式下的源和接收器特性，从而能够在今后的工作中校准测量结果，包括这一用于海底测绘和成像的设备，以及对海洋声学特性的其他研究。测试还将确定系统在多大程度上符合制造商的规范，如果不符合，则帮助确定必要的纠正措施。

de MoustierThis award to University of California at San Diego will support testing in deep ocean conditions of the multibeam echosounder system on R/V Roger Revelle, a research ship operated by UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the University-National Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet. The tests will be carried out using a remotely-operated vehicle and precision navigation. They will precisely define source and receiver characteristics of the multibeam system in operational mode, which will allow calibration of measurements in future work involving this device for seafloor mapping and imaging, as well as other studies of acoustical properties of the ocean. The tests will also determine to what degree the system conforms to manufacturer specifications, and if not in conformance, to help identify necessary corrective action.
