Vessel survey reports (VSRs) play a critical role throughout service life (10+ years) of a multibeam echosounder system (MBES) and provide the foundation for future vessel and sensor surveys. This document provides recommendations for VSRs that minimize opportunity for errors in the configuration of MBES and ancillary sensors.
A community-based effort with the goal of ensuring consistent high-quality multibeam data are collected across the U.S. Academic Research Fleet
