Compared to conventional high resolution acoustic profiling, ultra high resolution shallow acoustic profiling using parametric echo sounder is limited in penetration, yet it provides resolution suitable for detailed seabed investigation in the shallow waters. The parametric sub-bottom profiler system provides not only the exact determination of water depth, but also the detailed information about sediment layers and sub-bottom structures. Possible applications include dredging project, search of buried pipeline, ship wrecks, and other artificial objects through the detailed mapping of thickness and structure of the upper sedimentary layers. In this study, contaminated sediments were discriminated by the correlation of ultra high resolution profiles with geologic data. In addition, the burial depth of the submarine cable was measured by the interpretation of acoustic anomalies in the profiles.

During CHAOS (2003, 2006) and SSGH projects (2007), acoustic investigation including hydroacoustic (HA), side-scan sonar (SSS) and highresolution sparker seismic (HSS) surveys was carried out on the northeastern Sakhalin slope ($53^{\circ}56'\;N$, $143^{\circ}52'\;E$ to $54^{\circ}40'\;N$, $144^{\circ}32'\;E$). More than 130 methane seeps with high backscatter intensity are identified on SSS mosaic, which are well accompanied with gas flares in the water column on HA profiles and subbottom gas chimneys on HSS profiles. It is likely that that some seeps align along a NW strike parallel to the Lavrentiev Fault.

In this paper, an automatic cruise system of unmanned boat was developed for surveying water depth in reservoir using accurate location information. Using global satellite navigation system(GNSS) data in real time, this unmanned system, combined with an echo sounder, can simultaneously collect location information and depth information on the reservoir. This automatic navigation system allows the automatic route generation program to automatically generate a cruise route according to the input conditions for grid sizes of 5m, 10m and 20m, and automatically controls the cruise route with high positional accuracy. The developed system was tested to verify the applicability of the selected Yonggok(Geoncheon) reservoir as a test reservoir located in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do.

Dredging and reclaiming on coast, harbor construction etc. of when construct, the interest about efficiency and accuracy of sounding by measurement condition very rise. However, there are only a few studies on the accuracy improvement concerning water depth sounding condition. In this study, among the precision decline main causes of sounding, 1 suggested the characteristics of sounding data acquired by echo sounder with increasing of turbidity and the critical turbidity range under a given transducer frequency. For this, I acquired sounding data by inputting turbidity inducer artificially in artificial water tank. And then achieved regression analysis. Conclusion are as following Sounding Capabilities can be divided into three ranges according to the turbidity . normal range, critical range and the range where data can not be obtained by an echo sounder. When the turbidity exceeds $217\~259$ NTU which was considered as critical range, depth sounding was impossible.

저수지 수질모형의 기초자료로서의 수체의 수리학적 인자는 물리적인 자료이므로 많은 실측 자료를 필요로 한다. 이러한 자료의 취득을 위하여 수체의 수심을 측정하고, 대상구역의 수계특성을 잘 반영할 수 있도록 수체를 분할하여 각 구간별 수체 중심, 특성길이, 연직 및 수평 단면적, 수표면적, 수체적, 수로경사 등을 구하여 사용한다. 이러한 자료의 취득은 여러 가지 어려움으로 인하여 조사지점이 조밀하지 못하거나 계간방법이 개발되지 못하는 등의 이유로 인하여 실제값과 상당한 차이를 나타내기도 하므로 이를 개선할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 최근에 개발된 다중 음향탐사기 (MBES)는 초음파를 발사하여 하상에서 반사한 파의 시간을 측정하고 거리로 환산하여 수심을 측정하는 것으로 여러 지점의 수심을 동시에 스캔할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한 MBES는 수신기의 지향각이 존재하므로 파의 반사지점을 정확하게 파악할 수 있다. 단일 음향측심기는 측선을 따라 수심을 측정하므로 조사간격이 넓어 정확한 수로정보를 얻기에는 미흡한 점이 있으나 MBES는 수체 전체를 $1\times1m$ 당 $4\~5$ 번의 측정하고, 변화가 심한 호저면에서도 수심오차 $5\~8 cm$의 고분해능을 갖는다. 이를 이용하면 하상의 수심에 내한 3차원의 연속분포를 생성하고, 하상의 지형적인 특징을 조사${\cdot}$ 분석할 수 있으며 하상의 성상과정에 관한 기초자료로도 활용한 수 있다. 수체정보를 산정할 때 단일 음향측심법은 간접적으로 자료를 취득하므로 주관적인 견해 및 큰 오차를 내포하고 있으나, MBES는 Hypack Max를 이용하여 구획한 구간에 따른 수표면적과 연직단면적 및 수체적을 자동으로 계산한다. 그리고 측정한 자료의 raw data를 이용하면 각 구간에 대한 무게중심을 구하여 중점으로 사용 가능하고, 종방향의 구축을 산정하여 수로의 깊이 및 중심간 길이를 정확하게 계산할 수 있다.

Data acquisition is as important as data processing and interpretation in the field of marine geophysical exploration. Marine geophysicist, however, may not have enough information in this field because data acquisition method has been mainly developed by the commercial companies manufacturing the equipment. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the general data acquisition method and information to help to construct the systematic and effective survey plan. When a survey plan is set up, the most important thing is to select the seismic equipment based on required penetration depth and resolution, and then construct the survey line intervals. Although a line interval varies from the research purposes, it should be narrower than the expected subsurface structures. Also, if 100% coverage of multibeam data is required, line intervals need to be adjusted based on the equipment characteristics. In case of merging with the preexisting dataset like bathymetry, gravity and magnetic, cross-over errors occurred at the each cross point should be removed to avoid any kinds of misinterpretation.

Nowadays, a precision multiple-beam epoch sounder is a depth-sounding apparatus, which is widely used especially for the mapping of bottom of the sea in the coastal area and the bed of river. However, there has been no attempt to verify the accuracy of the depth-sounding apparatus with the data obtained through the actual measurement. As a consequence, the efficient and systematic evaluation of the survey results cannot be performed. In this paper, the accuracy of the multiple beam echo sounder is analyzed by comparing the in-situ measurements and reference data. The test results show that the highest level of accuracy, indicated by IHO, can be achieved even though the magnitude of error increases with the depth of water.

We characterize the spatial distribution of Cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts covering the summit and slopes of a seamount in the western Pacific, using acoustic backscatter from multibeam echo sounders (MBES) and seafloor video observation. Based on multibeam bathymetric data, we identify that ~70% of the summit area of this flattopped seamount has slope gradients less than $5^{\circ}$. The histogram of the backscatter intensity data shows a bi-modal distribution, indicating significant variations in seabed hardness. On the one hand, visual inspection of the seafloor using deep-sea camera data exhibits that the steep slope areas with high backscatter are mainly covered by manganese crusts. On the other hand, the visual analyses for the summit reveal that the summit areas with relatively low backscatter are covered by sediments. The other summit areas, however, exhibit high acoustic reflectivity due to coexistence of manganese crusts and sediments. Comparison between seafloor video images and acoustic backscatter intensity suggests that the central summit has relatively flat topography and low backscatter intensity resulting from unconsolidated sediments. In addition, the rim of the summit and the slopes are of high acoustic reflectivity because of manganese crusts and/or bedrock outcrops with little sediments. Therefore, we find a strong correlation between the acoustic backscatter data acquired from sea-surface multibeam survey and the spatial distribution of sediments and manganese crusts. We propose that analyzing acoustic backscatter can be one of practical methods to select optimal minable areas of the ferromanganese crusts from seamounts for future mining.
