          Bathymetry Survey.

        <enttypd>
          The determination of ocean depths or the general configuration of the sea floor as determined by the profile analysis of depth data, using a multibeam, wide-swath echo sounder.  Depths are measured directly below and transverse to the ship's track. The width of the swath is a function of the number of beams and their aperture.
