Affiliate Investigator(s): Jack Moakley, NOAA/NMFS
Information Specialist(s): Ellyn Montgomery
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: CTD, Sampling: Geology, Environmental Data: Current, Sonar: Multibeam
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Survey a previously observed sand wave field northwest of Great Ledge at slack low and slack high water to determine if these sand waves change during the tidal cycle.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
End Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA
Start Date: 2006-04-19
End Date: 2006-04-19
Equipment Used: Simrad EM 3000, CTD 19+ with OBS, PAR, DO, Chl, Van Veen grab sampler, Aanderaa Current Meter
Information to be Derived: Sea floor map;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Two surveys of the sand wave field at the east end of Woods Hole Passage with the multibeam system were completed. Current measurement was attempted, and the results were good enough to obtain a mean velocity at flood. No grab samples were attempted. This trip was a good test of the new system on the GLORIA MICHELLE. We found there were still kinks to work out, but the data collected were adequate for basic assessment.
