Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Gravity, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sonar: Sidescan
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Attempt to locate drill pipe equipment left on the ocean floor by drill ship GLOMAR CONCEPTION (FA 76027 AMCOR project) using sidescan sonar sweeps.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
End Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
Start Date: 1976-09-08
End Date: 1976-09-10
Equipment Used: Western Geophysical Integrated Navigation System, Gravity meter (wh), Klein 531 sidescan
Information to be Derived: Sea floor map;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Survey encompassed a 3 mile x 3 mile area where pipe assembly was lost at site #6013. Analysis of data aboard the vessel suggested possible targets but further analysis was necessary to confirm whether pipe had been located. Sidescan sonar: 140 km.
