The Kongsberg Mesotech Rotary Sonar 1171 (1206086) was deployed on 2013-09-11 at Ocean Networks Canada. Ocean Networks Canada operates the world-leading cabled ocean observatories for the advancement of science and the benefit of Canada. These observatories collect data on physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects of the ocean over long time periods, supporting research on complex Earth processes in ways not previously possible. This device is a Imaging Rotary Sonar. Imaging Rotary Sonars (IRS) are devices used in underwater mapping: imaging and profiling. An IRS transmits either conical or fan-shaped beam, and its range and resolution depends on the frequency and configuration of the device. Reflected signals, or echoes, are recorded and analyzed in order to develop an image of scanned area that includes information on the range between the sonar and the scanned object. It was deployed on a FIXED platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Network Canada's Oceans 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
