Echo sounding is the technique of using sound pulses directed from the surface or from a submarine vertically down to measure the distance to the bottom by means of sound waves.The distance is measured by multiplying half the time from the signal's outgoing pulse to its return by the speed of sound in the water which is more or less 1.5 km/s.(the speed of sound in water may slightly change by the factors of pressure, temperature and salinity).
The formula is:
D = 1/2*t*v
where:
D = distance
t = time in seconds
v = velocity in m/s
add. 'Doc' Edgerton, who had been a prime mover in the development of the Strobe Light, went on to make similar contributions to Side-scan Sonar.

What is echo sounding used for?
Echo sounding is used to get indication of any difference in the properties of the water. Fish finding, and depth sounding would be obvious uses. Other uses including locating enemy submarines or warships.

What is an echo sound about echo sounding?
An echo sound is the reflection of sound waves off of an object or surface back to its source, creating a repeat of the original sound. Echo sounding is a technique that uses these echoes to measure the depth of water or locate underwater objects by measuring the time it takes for the sound wave to return to the source. This information is valuable for mapping the ocean floor and understanding underwater topography.
