Summary of Field Work: |
SCE Survey is tasked to make a geophysical survey of the seabed at two locations on the New England Shelf (1) the New England mud patch and (2) an area off the New Jersey shelf near AMCOR 6010. The mud patch location and the OOI Pioneer array are in the same region. It is required that we collect CHIRP data to map out the 3-D layering structure, take sediment cores and grab samples, and use multibeam sonar to obtain pictures of the seabed at higher resolution at selected locations within the two survey areas. This survey information is required for planning purposes and to support analysis of data
to be taken in April 2016 in the main acoustic experiment. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We need multibeam sonar (the existing device on the RV SHARP) and a CTD. We also need adequate space for core logging analysis of cores about 20 feet in length. Space is needed for about 10 scientists and engineers. The RV SHARP is sufficient for our survey needs and it is ONRs first
choice for the survey in 2015. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We can be flexible about ship time and work with the RV SHARP schedule.
Please note that David Knobles and Preston Wilson have been selected
by ONR as co-Chief Scientists of the SCE. |

|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The RV SHARP is ONR Code 32 OA fist choice for the survey as it meets all requirements and many of the performers have previous experience working from the RV SHARP. The choice of dates were based on avoidance of Spring time storms and hurricane season.
Altan Turgut of NRL:DC has 10 days of the RV SHARP scheduled in May 2015 and he noted that he can be flexible--- Altan will be part of the SCE survey. |
