Hydrophone Distance Estimation

ChrisPhoenix · 10-03-19, 08:53 AM

Greetings fellow Kaleuns!

I am trying to become a better hydrophone operator. So i was wondering if there is any "rule of thumb" or anything like "a gain of 3 means around 5000m". Basically i am looking for a quick but simple way to estimate the distance to the target as accurate as possible but in the shortest amound of time. Methods like the four bearings-method are never used in our missions. So maybe you guys can help me out with your experience?

thanks in advance!
