R/V Falkor Echosounder, Hydrographic Multibeam Deployed 2013-09-06

The Kongsberg EM 710 (SN 225) was deployed on 2013-09-06 on R/V Falkor. The Research Vessel Falkor is the flagship vessel of the Schmidt Ocean Institute. This device is a Echosounder, Hydrographic Multibeam. Multibeam bathymetric echosounders acoustically map the seafloor. Typically mounted below a ship or remote operated vehicle (ROV), they transmit a narrow fan of acoustic beams from a transducer. These beams are reflected by the seafloor and received by the instrument. The return signal angle and travel time are used to calculate the depth and position for points on the seafloor. Motion and heading sensors are used to compensate for the relative movement of the instrument. 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.

康士伯（Kongsberg）EM 710（序列号SN 225）于2013年9月6日部署于“Falkor”号科考船。该科考船是施密特海洋研究所（Schmidt Ocean Institute）的旗舰平台。本设备为水文多波束回声测深仪。多波束海底测深回声测深仪（Multibeam bathymetric echosounder）通过声学方式实现海底地形测绘：此类设备通常安装于舰船或遥控水下机器人（Remote Operated Vehicle，ROV）底部，通过换能器发射窄扇形声学波束；波束经海底反射后被仪器接收，通过分析回波信号的角度与传播时间，即可计算出海底各测点的水深与位置坐标。设备搭载运动与航向传感器，以补偿仪器自身的相对运动。本次部署的设备搭载于移动平台之上。本次部署采集的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循行业标准流程完成质量管控，并衍生出配套数据产品。
