Singlebeam Echo Sounder System (SBES) is an in situ acoustic sensor used to measure the water depth to the seafloor. SBES determines the water depth by measuring the travel time of a sonar signal in two directions. SBES operate at a single frequency in the 24-33 kHz range for deeper water surveys and the 200-400 kHz range for shallow water surveys. They can operate in water depths under 100 meters up to 6,000 meters.
