Acoustic mapping of contaminated-sediment thickness in Lac Saint-Louis, results of equipment trials, 1990 / N.A. Rukavina and J.S. Ford. : En13-5/91-25E-PDF
"Trials of three echo sounders were carried out in Saint-Louis to assess their ability to measure the thickness of modern contaminated sediments and to discriminate sediment type. Test areas were first surveyed by sounding, sampling and coring to establish ground-truth data. None of the sounders was able to meet the objective of resolving modern-sediment layers 10 cm thick. Success rates for detection of 25-cm layers were 38% (BioSonics), 17% (Datasonics) and 33% (Edo). Bottom discrimination was poor except for the Edo which was moderately successful in distinguishing fine-grained sediments from sand and exposed glacial clays. Improvements in the performance of existing equipment should be possible with better colour recording (BioSonics, Datasonics), more scale expansion (Edo, Datasonics), and post-processing to enhance record quality (BioSonics, Datasonics). The alternative is to develop a new sounder dedicated to real-time, high resolution of fine-grained modern sediments"--Abstract.
