Talk:GLORIA sidescan sonar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Acronym

Can someone verify what "GLORIA" actually stands for?

I thought it was "Geological Long-Range Inclined ASDIC". I did a quick Google search, and the only explanation I found (this paper here: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~rxb/Online%20papers/gloria.pdf) used ASDIC. Wardog 14:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Well spotted. The original article by Rusby et al confirms that GLORIA stands for "Geological Long Range Inclined Asdic". Thunderbird2 16:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
