Information Specialist(s): Ellyn Montgomery
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Current, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Sonar: Multibeam, Sonar: Interferometric
Scientific Purpose/Goals: RAFAEL will be used to obtain multibeam bathymetry and chirp data for a 1 km long section of Middle Ground, a tidal sand ridge. Simultaneous ADCP sections across and along the ridge will be made from the REMUS AUV supported by the R/V HURRICANE (WHOI REMUS Group RHIB).
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Falmouth Harbor, MA
End Port/Location: Falmouth Harbor, MA
Start Date: 2006-09-27
End Date: 2006-09-27
Equipment Used: REMUS AUV, GPS (wh), EdgeTech 424 chirp sub-bottom profiler, DGPS, SEA SWATHplus-M 234 kHz
Information to be Derived: Sea floor map;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: One survey of the ridge and adjacent sandwave fields was completed. A high-resolution map of the region was generated from the processed data. REMUS ADCP data from two runs of the transect pattern was also collected.
