SONAR (System for Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research)

SONAR (System for Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research) is a technological tool that uses sound waves to study and gather data about the ocean and atmosphere. It works by emitting sound pulses into the water or air; when these waves encounter objects or different layers, they bounce back and are detected by sensors. This information helps scientists understand underwater features, map seafloor topography, track ocean currents, and study atmospheric conditions. SONAR is essential for marine research, navigation safety, environmental monitoring, and understanding climate patterns, providing vital insights without physically accessing remote or deep regions.
