JW Fishers Sub Bottom Profiler Sonar System

Sub Bottom Profiler Sonar System by JW Fishers Sub Bottom Profiler Sonar System - SBP-1 from JW Fishers. Sub Bottom Profilers are one of the most efficient techniques for identifying and characterizing sedimentary or igneous strata beneath the seabed. The sub-bottom profiler is comparable to a conventional echo sounder. A transducer emits a sound pulse vertically downwards toward the bottom, and a receiver captures the pulse's return after it has been reflected by the seafloor. Sub Bottom Profilers are one of the most efficient techniques for identifying and characterizing sedimentary or igneous strata beneath the seabed. The sub-bottom profiler is comparable to a conventional echo sounder. A transducer emits a sound pulse vertically downwards toward the bottom, and a receiver captures the pulse's return after it has been reflected by the seafloor. In contrast to a basic echo sounder, a portion of the sound pulse will enter the seabed and be reflected by the various sub-bottom layers
