Okeanos Explorer (EX1708): Musicians Seamounts (ROV & Mapping)

Operations for this cruise will be conducted 24 hours/day and
consist of daily remotely operated vehicle (ROV), overnight mapping, and full
shore-based participation via telepresence. Operations will include the use of
the ship's deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60
split-beam fisheries sonars, Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar, and
Teledyne Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers), XBT and CTD casts in support of
multibeam sonar mapping operations, OER's two-body ROV Deep Discoverer and
Seirios, and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for continuous
real-time ship-to-shore communications. Operations are planned in and around
Hawaii, the US EEZ, and in the High Seas around the Musicians
Seamounts.
