Sonar is a way of communicating, navigating, and detecting objects by using sound propagation. For the remainder of this lesson, we will focus on underwater sonar, which is used by submarines and some aquatic animals to perform the previously mentioned tasks.
There are two types of sonarâactive and passive. Sonar, short for Sound Navigation and Ranging, is helpful for exploring and mapping the ocean because sound waves travel farther in the water than do radar and light waves. NOAA scientists primarily use sonar to develop nautical charts, locate underwater hazards to navigation, search for and map objects on the seafloor such as shipwrecks, and map the seafloor itself.
