Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Magnetics, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Air Gun / Water Gun, Seismics: Boomer, Seismics: Bubble Gun, Seismics: Sparker, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Equipment test cruise.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Corpus Christi, TX
End Port/Location: Port Everglades, FL
Start Date: 1976-05-31
End Date: 1976-06-05
Equipment Used: 3.5 kHz, Air gun, SEI streamer with 40 MD5 hydrophones, Geometrics G-856 magnetometer, Loran-C
Information to be Derived: Morphology;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Airguns and gradiometer gave good results. 3.5 kHz system periodically lost the bottom. Teledyne sparker failed to arrive before departure; will be tested on a later leg.
