Abstract

The paper presents results from active sonar trials of the detection of icebergs (both in free water and ice locked) at 36 kHz. It is observed that the average target strength of the bergs, can be approximately expressed as a function of their estimated mass by a simple expression having physical plausibility. Further, observations of the echo duration, maximum detection range, sonar self‐noise and under ice reverberation are presented and discussed.
