Summary of Field Work: |
From May 15 2021 to June 01 2021 we are requesting ship time at the behalf of our sponsor at Office of Naval Research (Dr. Kyle Becker Code 321) to do sub bottom profiling of the seabed, sediment coring, acoustic measurements on moored arrays with both towed sources and explosive sources in two areas (1) the New England Mudpatch located south of Martha Vienyards in about 75 meters of water ~ 40.8 N 70.5 W) and (2) south of the Mudpatch close to the shelf break in about 200-400 meters of water. The geographical coordinates of the deeper site is an approximate rectangle (40.066 N 71.166 W, 39.95 N 71.166 W, 40.056 N 71.501 W, and 39.92 N 70.501 W) |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We are requesting to do the field tests off the RV Armstrong. We will require the A-frame for deploying and recovering experiments, a UNOLOS winch, and a side crane. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We will have on board, Sound Underwater Signaling explosive charges of various weights as we did in a similar experiment on the Armstrong in March 2017. This requires a special containment locker be installed on the Armstrong prior to departure. We will pick up the charges at the same naval facility as we did last time. |
