| Description | Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution,University of Washington,United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California,Federal University of Para,Federal University of Fluminense,Brazilian Geological Survey. Chief Scientist: Gail Kineke. Recovery data (Geoprobe) of field activity I-5-90-AT in Amazon Shelf from 03/26/1990 to 03/30/1990 | ||||||||
| Location | Amazon Shelf | ||||||||
| Summary | The recovery of the GEOPROBE was attempted without success from the vicinity of the M-2 mooring. The GEOPROBE is designed to be recovered by reeling in a cable attached to a float which is designed to rise to the surface when an acoustic release mechanism (100 kHz) attached to the GEOPROBE tripod is activated by a signal from the recovery ship. As during Leg 4, signal commands were sent to the acoustic release system without success but a responding signal from the GEOPROBE indicated the tripod was inplace and probably still operable. Recovery was then attempted by dragging the seabottom with grappling hooks. Recovery operations were suspended until Leg 1 of Cruise 3 (1 May - 8 May 1990). | ||||||||
