Depth/length of towed array?

nsquidc · 03-02-07, 08:10 PM

Is there a way to to determine the depth of your towed array? I assume that it is a function of your speed, the length deployed, and any currents (if modeled). However, I generally just muck around with depth until I get a clear reading... It's a little irritating when you are close to the thermocline or ground.

Also, is there any advantage to fully deploying the TA? All I find is that more length = longer delay before accurate bearings after a turn
