Information Specialist(s): Michael Casso, Frances Lightsom
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Dissolved Oxygen, Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical), Imagery: Photo, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Exchange moorings off Boston. Collect sediment cores and deploy oxygen profiler at Stations 2 and 3 near the Massachusetts Bay outfall. Deploy benthic chambers at Station 3. (Scituate moorings will be exchanged using the CHRISTOPHER ANDREW.)
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: U.S. Coast Guard Base, Boston, MA

End Date: 2001-10-23
Equipment Used: Benthic Chambers, Oxygen profiling system from Sayles, DGPS, Slow corer, Camera- deep sea, Digital camera, Bottom platform
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: USGS divers (Dann Blackwood and Charles Worley) recovered tripod at station LNB - release fouled. Cores collected only at Station 3. No moorings recovered/deployed at Scituate on this cruise. No benthic chambers were deployed. The minipod and subsurface moorings were recovered/deployed at Scituate on 10-29-01 from the CHRISTOPHER ANDREW. Moorings recovered: 2 (#644 and 645 both deployed FA 01023 MARCUS HANNA May 23-24, 2001). Moorings deployed: 2 (#664 and 665 both recovered FA 02026 MARCUS HANNA Feb. 5-6, 2002).
