Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Mahlon M. Ball
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s):
Data Type(s): Seismics: Multichannel, Electro-Magnetic: Gravity, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Electro-Magnetic: Magnetics, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Air Gun / Water Gun
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Make geophysical measurements (CDP seismic, 3.5 kHz, gravity, and magnetics) to be used in regional structural and stratigraphic framework studies. Loss of the ship's main engine caused a cessation of this cruise following completion of signature tests, but before any work could be done.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Miami, FL
End Port/Location: Pensacola, FL
Start Date: 1983-10-11
End Date: 1983-10-15
Equipment Used: Multichannel seismics, Water gun (wh), Bell Aerospace BGM-3 gravimeter, 3.5 kHz, Varian V-75 magnetometer, Loran-C, Sonar Doppler, Gyro compass, Magnavox satellite positioning system
Information to be Derived: Morphology;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Loss of the ship's main engine caused a cessation of this cruise following completion of signature tests, but before any work could be done. No data collected; only signature test completed.
