| Abstract | During RV METEOR Cruise M84-4 the hull-mounted echosounder systems Kongsberg Simrad EM 122 was used for bathymetric mapping in middle and deep water depths. The systems worked reliable during the whole cruise. The system has problems with rough weather conditions: The outer beams of EM122 get wobbling in depth deeper than2000 m. Besides the depth values the EM122 provides also backscatter information and pseudo-sidescan images. |
