CHIRP, SBP, SIDE SCAN SONAR

A quick processing by SEISPRHO SEISPHRO of CHIRP and SPARKER data was made on board for navigation and geological target selection, other that structural and stratigraphical analysys. Example of the recorded and processed data are shown in accompanying figures.

The data quality ranged from good to very good, with penetration down to 40 m (CHIRP) and $\sim$100m (SPARKER). The Side Scan Sonar data along the NAF trace revealed very interesting targets. On one of them (gas escape) a ROV dive was planned and executed.
