Sonar technology has changed the way we understand history. By using sound waves, we are able to "see" underwater, develop nautical charts, and map objects below the surface. 🗺️📍 In the search for the sunken SS City of Chester, this team of maritime investigators is scanning the seafloor of the San Francisco Oakland Bay to uncover fascinating remnants of the shipwreck, regarded as the worst ever maritime tragedy at the Golden Gate. Using this data, researchers are able to determine what caused

Sonar, short for Sound Navigation and Ranging, is helpful for exploring and mapping the ocean because sound waves travel farther in the water than do radar and light waves. NOAA scientists primarily use sonar to develop nautical charts, locate underwater hazards to navigation, search for and map objects on the seafloor such as shipwrecks, and map the seafloor itself. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/sonar.html | National Ocean Service

Ever wondered how different types of sonar work?  Sonars provide detailed imagery of the underwater environment beyond the onboard ROV camera. Sonars can be used to:  Increase situational awareness  Collect data  Improve underwater navigation  Locate or search for missing objects Read more about the different sonars here  https://bit.ly/4gWqgaE #blueyerobotics #blueyeX3 #3Dsonar #underwaterinspection | Blueye Robotics | Facebook
