Data Type(s): Sonar: Multibeam, Sonar: Sidescan, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Imagery: Photo
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Seafloor characterization of top of Atlantis II seamount.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Woods Hole MA USA
End Port/Location: Woods Hole MA USA
Start Date: 2022-07-13
End Date: 2022-07-31
Equipment Used: EM2040, EdgeTech 2205, Edgetech 2200M-subbottom, CathX HD camera
Information to be Derived: Multibeam depth and backscatter, subbottom profiles, and seafloor photographs from Hugin 6000 AUV.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Collected approximately 975 kms of multibeam sonar data using an EM2040 mounted on the HUGIN AUV during 8 dives between July 19th and 27th. Area covered by multibeam data is approximately 81 sq kms. Data collection also included 975kms of sidescan sonar collected using an EdgeTech 2205, sub bottom profiles collected using a EdgeTech 2200M, and 550,000 HD bottom photographs collected using a Cathx HD Camera.

Notes: Data collected during this field activity was supposed to be collected during Field Activity 2022-006-FA. However, due to equipment failures, no AUV data was collected during 2022-006-FA and rescheduled to later in the summer using M/V Deep Helder.
