Scientific Purpose/Goals: The cruise was set up to finish off the three shore-parallel seismic lines that were planned for the area west of Sandusky.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Sandusky, OH
End Port/Location: Sandusky, OH
Start Date: 1994-08-23
End Date: 1994-08-30
Equipment Used: GeoPulse uniboom, Klein 531 sidescan, Innerspace Technology 25-element hydrophone, Loran-C
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered:
Staff: Kenneth F. Parolski
Affiliate Staff:
Jonathan Fuller
Notes: These lines were the lines originally planned for the June cruise that never was. These lines will assist in the interpretation of the transition from the offshore data set to the nearshore profiles and shore data. These lines were planned to connect the ends of all of the 2000-foot shore normal profiles and extend the data further offshore with lines also at 5000 and 7000 feet offshore. Original Center People field contained: Ken Parolski (Electronics Technician). Original Submitted By field contained: Dale Liebenthal.
