Purpose | Define the extent and size of rift valleys identified in the basement surface of the LI Platform from USGS lines 24, 9, and 36 using the high-resolution multichannel system. Collect refraction velocity measurements within the rift structures and along undisturbed basement using the USGS OBIPs. Collect gravity data in the NY Bight, Raritan Bay, and NY Harbor to better define the shape and magnitude of the offshore extent of the Piedmont gravity high. Define the shape of the northern edge of the Baltimore Canyon Trough where it meets the LI Platform. Collect refraction velocity measurements along USGS Line 34 (continental slope) for a proposed ocean margin drill site. Test the resolution of the 240 m (12 channel) streamer with the 80 in3 watergun compared to the 120 m (12 channel) streamer and 15 in3 watergun. Do signature tests for the 540 in3 airgun, the 80 in3 watergun, the 40 in3 airgun, and the 15 in3 watergun. | ||||||||
