We are testing SBB side mount on the R/V Jabba Jaw.
Location
Tampa Bay, FL and Vicinity
Summary
Single Beam data was collected using two different mounting locations on the R/V Jabba Jaw to determine which is best for quality data acquisition
Info derived
The purpose of this testing is to understand the capabilities and limitations of single beam bathymetric acquisition.
Comments
This is not an actual field activity but a test of field equipment prior to deployment and data collection; therefore, the Research Topic of TST (short for Test) was assigned.
Alternate names: 16TST01
22-ft Twin Vee
This boat has a carrying capacity of up to 1500 pounds and up to 7 people and a shallow draft (9 inches empty). This boat's cat hull design results in a smoother ride in choppy water, at the expense of a slightly deeper draft. This boat is powered by two Yamaha 70hp motors.
This instrument did not collet individual files; rather it was streaming boat motion (heave, roll, and pitch) via the TSS320.dll driver into the HYPACK acquisition software. The strings of data are time stamped and located in the RAW HYPACK files. Example of data string: HCP 0 40073.584 -0.020 1.680 3.110.
This instrument did not collect individual files; rather it was streaming depth below transducer via the OdomCV_3.dlldriver into the HYPACK acquisition software.
Raw GPS files collected using the Ashtech ProFlex 800 GNSS receivers. Satellite signals were received via the Choke ring antennas for the base stations and the boat. A NMEA GGA data string was streaming from the GPS receiver into HYAPCK acquisition software via the GPS.dll driver providing navigation data.
The satellite L1/L2 signals were received via the Ashtech choke-ring antennas for the base station and the boat. The Ashtech ProFlex 800 GNSS receivers interpret the signals and record the information as binary files. 317 MB
