Evaluation of the return time of acoustic waves emitted into a medium to determine the distance between source and target. This method is used in hydrology, for example, to determine the depth of a water body. [Based on 'echo sounder' in International Glossary of Hydrology (WMO-No. 385). 2012 edition.]
