Field Activity 1982-022-FA

Identifier 1982-022-FA
Alternate names LY-711-82
Purpose 1. Collect high-resolution seismic profiles at the Navy test site to map the shallow stratigraphy and velocity structure. 2. Measure the signature of three seismic sources (40-in3 airgun, 80-in3 watergun, 15-in3 watergun) frequently used with the multichannel seismic system. 3. Expand the multichannel seismic grid of the Long Island Platform in order to map basement and sub-basement structures. 4. Trace the northern and southern extents of the New York Bight fault and determine the youngest reflector which is offset.
Location Long Island Sound, Long Island Platform, New York, Connecticut, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary Cruise was successful in completion of the objectives initially laid out. This was a "cruise of opportunity" in that NUSC provided the ship time. I heartily recommend future joint efforts based on the success of this effort. 12-channel multichannel: 1098 km; Minisparker: 411 km; 3.5 kHz: 1509 km; Magnetometer: 37 km.
