Acoustic Remote Sensing

Acoustic remote sensing uses sound waves to gather information about objects or environments from a distance. By sending sound signals and analyzing the echoes that bounce back, it can detect, measure, and map features without physical contact. This technique is widely used in underwater exploration (like sonar), atmospheric studies, and monitoring surroundings in areas difficult to access. It relies on the properties of sound waves—such as speed, reflection, and absorption—to infer details about the target or environment, making it an effective tool for non-invasive remote analysis.
