    They may be anchored in shallow water, or free-floating in deep water. and may be part of a long term early-warning system, or actively used to hunt down enemy vessels. The position of the target is identified by analysing the time difference of the same sound signals either emitted or reflected from the target and received by three or more buoys.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_surface_searches

    Water surface searches are procedures carried out on or over the surface of a body of water with the purpose of finding lost vessels, persons, or floating objects, which may use one or more of a variety of search patterns depending on the target of the search, as the direction and rate of drift vary depending on the characteristics of the target and the water and weather conditions at the time.

    A hydrofoil is towed water ski where the participant is seated on the ski. The ski consists of a seat tower and board, as well as a foil, which rides beneath the water’s surface, with front and rear wings. The participant straps into the hydrofoil ski and secures the safety straps on the seat tower and the foot bindings.

  5. Depth gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_gauge

    A depth gauge can also be based on light: The brightness decreases with depth, but depends on the weather (e.g. whether it is sunny or cloudy) and the time of the day. Also the color depends on the water depth. [7] [8] In water, light attenuates for each wavelength, differently.

  6. Bathymetry - Wikipedia

    The beams update many times per second (typically 0.1–50 Hz depending on water depth), allowing faster boat speed while maintaining 100% coverage of the seafloor. Attitude sensors allow for the correction of the boat's roll and pitch on the ocean surface, and a gyrocompass provides accurate heading information to correct for vessel yaw .

  7. Depth finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_finder

    A depth finder may refer to any of the following: Sonar: use of underwater sound propagation to measure depth; Fathometer or fishfinder: a device to locate fish at various water depths; Echo sounding: a technique using sound pulses to measure depth; sounding line: a length of rope used to measure water depth

  8. Keel depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keel_depth

    Keel depth (sometimes given as Depth to keel) is the depth (or draft) of water from the water surface to the keel of a vessel, the deepest part. The keel establishes a commonly defined reference point to measure to. Keel depth is useful for determining safe operating depth in shallow water.

  9. Echo sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_sounding

    Echo sounding or depth sounding is the use of sonar for ranging, normally to determine the depth of water . It involves transmitting acoustic waves into water and recording the time interval between emission and return of a pulse; the resulting time of flight , along with knowledge of the speed of sound in water, allows determining the distance ...
