Identifier 2009-059-FA
Purpose Ground truth NOAA surveys H11251, H11445, H11446, H11997, H11999 and H12013 in eastern Long Island Sound with bottom sampling and photography. Field work was focused on the sampling/photography.
Location Long Island Sound, New York, Connecticut, United States, North America, North Atlantic,
Summary Video and still photographs were collected at 41 stations; samples were collected at 27 of the stations. Ground truthing of survey H11445 was completed; ground truthing of surveys H11251 and H12013 was partly completed. Cruise was originally planned for 7 days, but remnants of Hurricane Ida increased the sea state and terminated field operations.
Info derived Grain size analysis; Sea floor map; Morphology;
Comments SEABOSS used was the mini-SEABOSS. Original Center People field contained: Larry Poppe - Scientist; Kate McMullen - Field and Lab Tech; Dann Blackwood - Photographer; Barry Irwin - Boat Operator.
