Abstract:Multibeam Echosounders (MBES) are hydrographic tools used primarily to survey the seafloor bathymetry and backscatter. Modern MBES systems are not limited to the seafloor, as they can also map water column profiles, which holds important biological, thermal and chemical information of oceans and shores. Unfortunately, this feature is normally disregarded during routine surveys operations, as it generates a very large amount of data, requiring data compression for possible use in future analysis.
