As in distance? I don't think its possible. The variables we have to work with, only define its geometric shape. The only way it distguishes between surfaced and surbmerged is a variable that defines the upper limit of its geometric search area in relation to the surface of the ocean.

So then is it possible to adjust this geometric search area when the sub is surfaced? If so, make it a smaller area thus clipping the sonar into a tighter circle of detection area?
