Sonar, short for Sound Navigation and Ranging, is helpful for exploring and mapping the ocean because sound waves travel farther in the water than do radar and light waves. NOAA scientists primarily use sonar to develop nautical charts, locate underwater hazards to navigation, search for and map objects on the seafloor such as shipwrecks, and map the seafloor itself. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/sonar.html | National Ocean Service

Sonar systems serve a wide range of purposes. This guide covers key aspects of sonar technology, including its use in underwater inspections, search and recovery operations, bathymetric surveys, and more.
