The use of a deep-towed wide-swath bottom imaging sonar and subbottom profiler is reported. Data are presented from SeaMARC 1A, a sidescan sonar operating at 27-30 kHz to image the seafloor in swath widths up to 5000 m. Acoustic response of the seafloor to the sidescan and 4.5-kHz subbottom profiler from a wide range of environments is examined, and the image processing techniques are described.
