Boomers are used for profiling geological features beneath the seabed. The acoustic energy penetrates the seafloor and some energy from the initial output reflects off layers of differing sediment types. This results in sonar data that resembles a “slice” of the seafloor directly beneath the towbody. 2, record 2, English, - boomer

On s’aperçut que les caractéristiques de réflexion acoustique des échosondeurs, des boumeurs et des canons à air permettaient de différencier le faciès sédimentaire superficiel. Cela représentait une percée importante, comme le prouve encore l’utilisation continue et généralisée des techniques acoustiques dans la cartographie du fond marin [...] Le système sismique Huntec utilise un boumeur - pour obtenir une impulsion reproductible - et un hydrophone récepteur, tous deux remorqués à des profondeurs de 100 mètres pour éliminer les bruits de surface. 4, record 2, French, - boumeur
