2. MBES (Multibeam Echo Sounder):
• Raw Data: o Multibeam depth measurements: High-resolution depth data along multiple beams (often between 30 to 256 beams). o Backscatter intensity: A measure of the reflectivity of the seafloor at each beam. o Position and heading data: Coordinates, roll, pitch, and yaw of the vessel to correct for motion and ensure accurate readings. o Time stamps: When each set of data was collected. o Beam angle and distance: Information on the angle and distance for each individual beam’s measurement. o Sound velocity profile: Temperature, salinity, and pressure data, often used to adjust depth measurements. Format:
• Often stored in XYZ or CSV format with the columns containing Latitude, Longitude, Depth (per beam), Backscatter, Heading, and Time.
