No over-the-side instruments. No stopping the vessel.
A compact hull-mounted array sends sound pulses and listens to echoes from natural reflectors in the water.
Our signal processing estimates the sound speed profile in the upper water column, where it matters most for sonar.
Profiles are updated continuously along the vessel track, not just at cast locations.
More frequent sound speed data, with less cost and disruption.
