| Purpose | GLORIA (long-range sidescan sonar) mapping of East Coast U.S. mid-Atlantic region via contract with IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.). This was a gap-filling period to adjust for time lost and survey area not covered because of bad weather during Legs 1 and 2 of the effort to map the East Coast U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). | ||||||||
| Location | Hatteras Canyon, North Carolina continental slope and rise, United States EEZ, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Summary | GLORIA sidescan sonar; Airgun: 3240 km; 3.5 kHz: 3240 km; 10 kHz soundings: 19 XBT profiles; Magnetics: 3240 km. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Sea floor map; Morphology; | ||||||||
