Description
Multibeam, single beam, and subbottom sonar data will be collected 24 hours a day and XBT casts will be conducted at an interval defined by prevailing oceanographic conditions, but not to exceed 3-4 hours. EX1404L1 will perform baseline characterization mapping (multibeam, splitbeam, subbottom) of New England Seamount chain in preparation for EX1404L3. During transiting to and from seamounts, exploration mapping will include areas of poor quality from existing ECS data and gaps in ECS data.
