Multibeam echosounders (MBES) are complex sonar systems giving accurate bathymetric measurements over a wide angular sector by forming several hundreds of steered beams. This work deals with the topics of measurement qualification and the study of the possibility to take several soundings into account inside each formed beam. The definition of the quality is based on the classical estimation methods used in MBES to determine the water depth and on their variance derivation. This requires a good knowledge of the statistical properties of the acoustic signals according to the measurement conditions and the sounder settings, in order to derive the theoretical variance of the time of arrival inside each beam. Those developments define a quality...
