Upper Slope South Imaging Rotary Sonar Deployed 2014-05-07

The Kongsberg Mesotech Rotary Sonar 1171 (1108032) was deployed on 2014-05-07 at Upper Slope South. Upper Slope South is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. This device is a Imaging Rotary Sonar. Imaging Rotary Sonars (IRS) are devices used in underwater mapping: imaging and profiling. An IRS transmits either conical or fan-shaped beam, and its range and resolution depends on the frequency and configuration of the device. Reflected signals, or echoes, are recorded and analyzed in order to develop an image of scanned area that includes information on the range between the sonar and the scanned object. It was deployed on a fixed 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.
