Description
EX1203 of NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer (EX) will run its
Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar survey system 24 hours per day with periodic XBT
casts for calibration. One to three CTD casts are planned. The EM302 produces
bathymetric, bottom backscatter, and water column backscatter data, At two
targeted survey sites, the EM302, the Knudsen CHIRP 3260 sub-bottom profiler,
and the Simrad EK60 single beam sonar sensor will be employed.
