| Purpose | Map submarine landslides as part of a WHOI test cruise of the hybrid AUV/ROV SENTRY. | ||||||||
| Location | New England continental slope, United States, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Summary | Using the hull-mounted Knudsen 320B/R deepwater echo sounder on the OCEANUS, approximately 1065 km of 3.5 kHz sub-bottom data were collected over the 6 days of the cruise (see map). Data were acquired in both Knudsen proprietary binary format (.keb) viewable only in the Knudsen 'Post Survey' software and in standard SEG-Y format for later processing. Multibeam data was not collected in the survey area because of technical problems with the RESON multibeam sonar aboard the Sentry. | ||||||||
| Comments | This is part of a WHOI engineering testing cruise. The full cruise report is being prepared by Drs. Chris German and Dana Yoerger. Data Curator: WHOI. Information from Foghorn: AUV/ROV Sentry;Knudsen echo sounder 320B/R. Also: WHOI will be data curator for complete cruise; U. ten Brink will be WHSC contact; J. Chaytor will be data curator for data to be processed by WHSC. No WHSC project number; funded by WHOI. | ||||||||
