Echogram: meaning, definitions and examples
๐
echogram
[ หษkษหษกrรฆm ]
scientific measurement
An echogram is a visual representation of sound waves reflected off objects underwater, commonly used in sonar technology. It displays the intensity of the reflected signals, allowing for the analysis of underwater topography and the detection of marine life.
Synonyms
echo image, sonar image, sonogram.
Examples of usage
- The researcher analyzed the echogram to locate schools of fish.
- The echogram revealed a complex underwater structure.
- Using an echogram, scientists could monitor changes in fish populations.
- The echogram displayed the seafloor features clearly.

Etymology
The word 'echogram' derives from two Greek words: 'echo', meaning 'a sound' or 'to resound', and 'gram', meaning 'something written' or 'a record'. The term began to be used in the mid-20th century as sonar technology evolved for underwater exploration and mapping. Early applications focused primarily on maritime navigation, but advancements in technology expanded its usage to environmental science, fisheries management, and marine research. As scientists began to realize the importance of understanding underwater ecosystems, echograms became an essential tool in marine biology and oceanography. The development of digital processing techniques in the late 20th century further enhanced the clarity and utility of echograms, allowing researchers to analyze the data more effectively.
