Abstract
This chapter describes two separate but complementary research echosounder systems originally developed by Krupp Atlas Elektronik GmbH for the new German oc3anographic research vessel Meteor.
The Hydrosweep is a Hydrographic wide-swathe sweep survey echosounder for both shallow and deep water applications providing accurate bathymetric surveys and terrain-following navigation capabilities.
The Parasound system is a hull-mounted dual channel parametric narrow-beam deep sea survey and sub-bottom profiling echo-sounder enabling particularly high vertical and horizontal resolution of seabed features.
