Description
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 Profiler), and XBT casts in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations, and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for continuous real-time ship-to-shore communications. Operations are planned in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Emerging technologies components of this cruise will be in partnership with the Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration Research and Technology (CIOERT) at Florida Atlantic University and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Newport RI.
