EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During HB0707

Acoustic Calibration and Trials (HB0707, EK60). Operational objectives are to: (1) calibrate the EK60 Scientific Sounder, (2) calibrate the ME70, (3) collect acoustic data during the transit, (4) evaluate and diagnose acoustic, electric and other sources of noise in the acoustic instruments, (5) collect bottom trawl catch data, (6) test the ship’s hydrographic winches.

Distribution Formats
  • Kongsberg/Simrad instrument files (.raw or .wcd) (Version: 1)
    • File Specification: Kongsberg/Simrad .raw files are generated by ME70, EK60 or ES60 instruments. They contain power and optionally angular position data with each beam/frequency identified by an independent channel. See the Simrad interface specification manual for further information. The .wcd files are generated by Kongsberg EM302 or EM122 instruments. See Kongsberg documentation for more information.
