Equipment Used: Klein 531 sidescan, Q-MIPS sidescan sonar system, ODOM 200 kHz depth recorder, DGPS, Megapulse Accufix 500 LORAN-C
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: This was a 2-ship multidisciplinary acoustical survey: CTDs during daylight, sidescan sonar at night. Early sidescan problems were solved with second QMIPS trigger box. Entire area was successfully surveyed at 150-m spacing.
