Attention:

Please note that operations of the Multibeam Echo Sounder Hydrosweep DS3 requires experienced scientific staff on board and can be only operated upon request. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Request operations with the Multibeam Echo Sounder Hydrosweep DS3 to AWI-Bathymetry and AWI-Logistics in sufficient time prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise.

Summary

The Multibeam Echo Sounder uses several frequencies to map the topography of the seafloor. It also provides information about the texture of the seafloor as well as the structure of the water body.

Position

Origin Description:xyz-position calculated from Alignment Survey Report (2016) to be center between Tx and Rx transducer. Transducer arrays located in box keel, electronics located in E525A, operating computers located in E550 (HSPS-room)
X:77.162 m
(X-0 is at the center of der rudder (ref. design drawing of the vessel), positive X-axis is forward and along vessel centerline)
Y:0.001 m
(Y-0 at centerline, positive Y-axis is portside)
Z:0.017 m
(Z-0 is set to the lowest point of the keel, positive Z-axis is upwards)

Data logging, storage and archiving

Logged parameters

Parameter Sensor Output Type Unit
depth depth m
Hydroacoustic backscatter backscatter strength V

Central geographical ship's position and time standard

Time synchronising of the computers is regulated via Polarstern GPS.
Geographical ship's position via HYDRINS centering to HYDRINS offset correction in AHC.

Rawdata storage on board

Mass data: The data acquisition and processing software creates rawdata to the directory structure of the mass storage. A reduced data set is also stored in DShip sytem.

Data archiving on land

After the cruise, the operator transfers the measurement data along with required meta data to AWI after consultaion with the data scientist and AWI Logistics. Then, the data including meta data can be extracted from https://www.pangaea.de/ (for authorized users only). The reduced DShip data set can be extracted from https://dms.awi.de.
