| Abstract | Durin the cruise The EM120 was used for mapping the seafloor.The EM120 system is a multibeam echosounder (with 191 beams) providing accurate bathymetric mapping up to depths exceeding 11000 m. This system is composed of two transducer arrays fixed on the hull of the ship, which send successive frequency coded acoustic signals (11.25 to 12.6 kHz). |
