| Abstract | During SO-216 the 12 kHz Simrad EM120 multibeam system of RV Sonne was used. This system works with 191 beams, where the maximum total angle of the emission beam is 150° across track and 2° along track. To obtain a high data accuracy, however, lower beam angles across track have been used (either 120° during transits or 90° within the main working area). Furthermore, the system was calibrated to allow correction of the ship's motion. Twice a roll 15 and pitch calibration procedure was started: the first calibration was on 19 June 2011 (Site 002MB; along a line from 3°51.50'S/ 152°08.00'E to 3°55.90'S/ 152°10.50'E), the second calibration was performed on 20 June 2011 (Site 006MB; along a line from 3 47.90'S/ 152°06.00'E to 3°44.90'S/ 152°06.00'E) |
