Description
This will be the first cruise to have 12-hour ROV operations.
The daily schedule for the cruise cruises will usually be split between daytime
ROV operations and nighttime CTD and mapping operations. ROV operations will
focus in depths >500m and will include high-resolution visual surveys.
Mapping operations will include overnight sub-bottom data collection over key
features, multibeam data collection, and water column backscatter
data.
