MBES (Multibeam Echo Sounder)

The document outlines the components of Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) raw data, including multibeam depth measurements, backscatter intensity, and vessel position data. It specifies the types of information collected, such as timestamps and sound velocity profiles, essential for accurate depth readings. Additionally, it notes that the data is typically stored in XYZ or CSV format with relevant columns for analysis.

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.
