Abstract
The Multibeam Echosounder ATLAS HYDROSWEEP is designed for efficient hydrographic survey in shallow and deep water sea areas, and for the real-time display and recording of the topographical structures as coloured areas and isolines. The special features of ATLAS HYDROSWEEP are the large coverage of 2 x 45° and the shallow and deep water survey capability from 10 m to >10,000 m. With the aid of 59 PFB’s (preformed beams), a swath width equal to twice the depth of the water is covered on the sea bed. This greatly increases the economy of ship operations for survey purposes, compared to previous systems. A comparison of HYDROSWEEP data with comparable SEABEAM measurements along almost identical track lines proves the high data quality and the superior efficiency of the HYDROSWEEP.
