		Sonar (sound navigation and ranging) is a technique that uses sound propagation under water to navigate or to detect other watercraft.
		When active sonar is used to measure the distance to the bottom, it is known as echo sounding.
		Sonar in freshwater lakes is different in operation from sonar at sea.

	MSN Encarta - Sonar
		Sonar, acronym for SOund Navigation And Ranging, a detection system based on the reflection of underwater sound waves— just as radar is based on the reflection of radio waves in the air.
		A typical sonar system emits ultrasonic pulses by using a submerged radiating device; it listens with a sensitive microphone, or hydrophone, for reflected pulses from potential obstacles or submarines.
		Spinoffs from the development of sonar technology, or ultrasonics, include acoustic oceanography, the study of ocean properties using a variety of acoustic means, and acoustic tomography, an imaging or remote sensing technique using computer analysis to study the data collected when acoustic signals are passed through an object.

	Sonar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging) — or sonar — is a technique that uses sound propagation under water to navigate or to detect other vessels.
		Active sonar data is obtained by measuring detected sound for a short period of time after the issuing of a ping; this time period is selected so as to ensure that the ping's reflection will be detected.
		In aircraft, active sonar is used in the form of disposable sonobuoys that are dropped in the aircraft's patrol area or in the vicinity of possible enemy sonar contacts.

	Side-scan sonar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Side scan sonar (also sometimes called side-scan sonar, sidescan sonar, side looking sonar and side-looking sonar) is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor.
		Side scan sonar imagery is also a commonly used tool to detect debris items and other obstructions on the seafloor that may be hazardous to shipping or to seafloor installations by the oil and gas industry.
		Side scan uses a sonar device that emits pulses down toward the seafloor across a wide angle perpendicular to the path of the sensor through the water, which may be towed from a surface vessel or submarine, or mounted on the ship's hull.

	Fast and Accurate Mobile Robot Sonar Target Tracking using Dual Pulse Coding
		One application of the sonar sensors is to quickly seek out and lock onto reliable ultrasonic reflectors in the environment as the robot moves, similar to the sonar trackers in OxNav (Stevens et al 1995) and a 3D tracker (Kuc 1993).
		Sonar researchers (Jorg and Berg 1998, Peremans et al 1993) have employed pseudo random and Barker pulse coding with durations of 1 to 2 milliseconds that require the use of DSP systems to process the resulting echoes.
		The sonar sensors are 0.33 metres from the robot centre of rotation and the 2 degree overlap intervals correspond to 1 cm of movement of each tracker towards and away from the plane.

		The main component of sonar equipment is an electroacoustic transducer that is in direct contact with the water.
		Sonar is widely used by commercial fishermen for locating shoals of fish.
		Research has suggested that sonar used for echo ranging can cause a disorder similar to decompression sickness (in which nitrogen bubbles form in body tissues) in some beaked whales and dolphins and that this may be linked to strandings of those species.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Satellites
		Sonar is applied to water-based activities because sound waves attenuate (taper off) less in water as they travel than do radar and light waves.
		Unlike active sonar, passive sonar does not emit its own signal, which is an advantage for military vessels that do not want to be found or for scientific missions that concentrate on “listening” to the ocean.
		Like side-scan, multibeam sonar provides a fan-shaped coverage of the seafloor, But instead of recording the strength of the return echoes, multibeam systems measure and record the time elapsed between the emission of the signal from the transducer to the seafloor or object, and back again.

		The output is used to trigger the sonar units INIT (which initiates a PING).
		This means that an object must be at least this distance from the sonar unit to be detected.
		In most cases, I used the sonar to avoid objects and keeping them around 2ft (60 cm) is a good rule of thumb.

	The Sex Offender Need Assessment Rating SONAR
		The SONAR subscales were created from the individual questions in the Hanson and Harris (1998, in press) data set that most closely matched the constructs of interest.
		The average SONAR score for the recidivists was 8.0 (SD = 2.4, range 1 to 14) compared to an average score of 5.4 for the non-recidivists (SD = 3.1, range -3 to 12).
		The SONAR was substantially correlated with static measures of risk, such as the VRAG, and the stable items in the SONAR carried most of the predictive accuracy.

		SONAR is a service which, when presented with a list of Internet Protocol addresses, attempts to order that list according to the proximity from the SONAR server to each address.
		SONAR is designed to help networked applications make a reasonable choice between several alternative locations for a network-accessible service.
		While the first version of SONAR actively probes the network to estimate proximity, future versions of SONAR may be implemented in routers and thus derive the proximity information ``for free'' using routing tables.

	Sonar: Acoustic Harassment
		The Navy claims that LFA sonar will be able to detect today's "quieter" submarines so reliably that it plans to deploy LFA routinely throughout most of the world's oceans.
		The most recent results of the on-going investigation into this incident indicate that these whales died from the impacts of a loud sound acting on their air spaces—that is, from resonance effects.
		The Navy has had to admit that mid-frequency sonars may pose a serious risk to certain marine mammal species; even so, it continues to maintain that LFA sonar, which operates at a lower frequency than the Bahamas sonars, will be safe for all marine mammals.

	The Sonar by Peter Harris
		Sonar is a machine that detects depth of oceans by sending sound waves.
		The active sonar sends a sound which is like a ping, when it hits an object; it is sent back up to the boat to tell how deep the water is. This is called echo ranging.
		Sonar I am a helper to many seamen, I serve to protect them from rocks and debris that could cause a hazard.

	Discover: Seeing with sonar - accuracy of dolphins' echolocation is roughly equivalent to their eyesight - Brief Article
		The researchers conclude that sonar provides dolphins with a complex mental image of the world, one that appears to be similar in many respects to the one provided by their eves.
		To see if she could recognize with sonar an object she had first seen with her eves, an assistant stood at the edge of her tank, holding one of the objects, and let the dolphin look at it for a few seconds.
		To reverse the test - that is, to see if Elele could recognize objects visually that she had examined with her sonar - the researchers had her first probe a single object in the underwater box with her sonar.

		The sidescan sonar data were collected along a grid of tracklines spaced approximately 5 km apart and were used to provide a reconnaissance overview of the surficial geology of the inner shelf.
		Sidescan sonar imagery and high resolution seismic reflection profiles were collected in Las Vegas Bay and Boulder Basin of Lake Mead to determine the surficial geology as well as the distribution and thickness of sediment that has accumulated in these areas of the lake since the completion of Hoover Dam.
		The joint aims of the cruise were firstly to obtain high resolution seismic reflection images and sidescan sonar images of the middle continental slope, secondly to study the acoustic images of the seafloor for evidence of seafloor hazards and thirdly to look for subsurface gas hydrates and their effects.
