CCGS John P. Tully Echosounder, Hydrographic Single Beam Deployed 2016-10-04

The Simrad EA600 Echosounder 1522 was deployed on 2016-10-04 on CCGS John P. Tully. The Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) John P. Tully is owned and operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. This device is a Echosounder, Hydrographic Single Beam. Single beam hydrographic echosounders provide precise measurements of depth to the seafloor. Typically mounted below a ship or remote operated vehicle (ROV), they transmit pulses into the water. These pulses are reflected by the seafloor and received by the instrument. The return signal and travel time are used to calculate the depth and position of the seafloor. It was deployed on a mobile platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
