Surface noise

When the sea is rough or the ship passes over a wake, surface noise may appear at the top of

the screen. It can be suppressed with the CLUTTER function.

Surface Noise

Surface noise

Aerated water

When the sea is rough or the ship makes a quick turn, gaps in the bottom echo on the screen

may appear. This is caused by air bubbles which block propagation of the sound wave.

Generally low frequency ultrasonic waves are interrupted more easily than high ones.

False image

Every time the ultrasonic pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam,

called “side lobes.” Echoes from side lobes show on the display as false images as below.
