Okeanos Explorer (EX1501): Ship Shakedown and Patch Test

Description

Multibeam and single beam 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 6 hours. Additionally, EK 60 and sub-bottom profile data will be collected 24 hours per day. A new EK80 instrument will be tested. The Okeanos Explorer will continue to host NASA's Maritime Aerosol Network sensors to provide ship-borne aerosol optical depth measurements from sun photometers for NASA.
