Description
Normal underway operations and mapping patch testing.
Bathymetric mapping of either the Murray or Molokai Fracture Zones during the
transit to Hawaii is planned, as allowed by equipment shakedown priorities and
prevailing sea conditions. CTD casts may be requested at strategic locations
along the fracture zone. New equipment in need of shakedown testing includes a
new Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) antenna, a new Keyboard-Video-Monitor
(KVM) system, new Doppler speed log, four new EK 60 single beam sonars, two new
ADCPs, new digital file storage systems, and a newly installed Underway
CTD.
