titleAttention:

Please note that operations of the Sediment Echo Sounder Atlas Parasound P70 requires experienced scientific staff on board for permanent supervision of data aquisition and storage. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Announce operations with the Sediment Echo Sounder Atlas Parasound P70 to AWI-Logistics prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise.

The system consits of the transducer, the electronic unit, two computers with installed data acquisition and processing software ParaStore and the subsidiary display on the bridge. 
The transducer consists of four segments and is mounted without ice protection window in the box keel. The transducer transmits in the frequency range of 18 - 39 kHz and reaches water depth of 10 to 11000m. Frequency interferences generate "parametric low frequencies" between 0.5 and 6.0 kHz. Penetration depth into the sediment accounts for > 200m (depending on sediment properties) and the resolution is 6.1 cm.
