More Information
Summary:Advances in developing an acoustic calibration facility at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are documented in the course of giving a brief overview of the calibration venue: a sea well on Iselin Dock, and previously described systems for transducer-mounting and rotation, and target suspension. New instrumentation consisting of a precision target-positioning system and external triggering system to synchronize transducer rotation and sonar pinging is described.
