Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Lawrence Poppe
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Lawrence Poppe, Nancy K. Soderberg
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Boomer, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Ground truth NOAA hydrographic survey H11346 of the entrance to Edgartown Harbor with seismic reflection. One day primarily employed the Uniboom system; one day primarily employed the Knudsen Chirp.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
End Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
Start Date: 2008-08-18
End Date: 2008-08-20
Equipment Used: Knudsen CHIRP Sub-bottom Profiler, DGPS, Boomer, Single channel hydrophone
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Equipment problems prevented data acquisition on August 18, but 57 km of Knudsen Chirp seismic reflection profiles and 17 km of Uniboom seismic reflection profiles were collected along tracklines on August 19-20.
