Multibeam Bathymetry
Multibeam echo sounders, for Bathymetric survey, use sonar pulses to measure the distance between the survey vessel and the seabed. This instrument collects point data at a resolution of 25cm or better, depending on water depth, vessel speed and bed topography and produces a high resolution elevation dataset of the underwater terrain. The Environment Agency's Multibeam Bathymetric data archive includes digital elevation data derived from bathymetric surveys carried out for a range of application
