Field Activity 1987-031-FA

Identifier 1987-031-FA
Alternate names CAMP 2-2; A-6-87-SC
Purpose The primary objectives of this cruise are recovery of USGS current meter moorings and GEOPROBE tripods which were deployed during the May 1987 USGS sediment dynamics cruise (SPROUL, FA 87017), obtain box cores and CTD profiles at selected sites, and navigate mooring locations for future recovery of anchors.
Location Point Sal, Ventura, California, United States, North America, North Pacific;
Summary CAMP 2-2 weathered out; no samples collected. Mooring and GEOPROBE Station A (R-8) navigated in using Miniranger and acoustic transponder.
