What is Understanding Multibeam Sonar Functionality about?

Multibeam sonar uses multiple sound transmitters and receivers to rapidly map wide areas of the seafloor. It works by transmitting sound pulses in a fan-shaped beam and measuring the return time to determine depth. This allows for faster and more accurate seafloor mapping than single-beam sonar. Higher resolution data can be obtained by increasing the ping rate or narrowing the swath width. Multibeam sonar creates detailed 3D images of underwater terrain and shipwrecks.
