EM302 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During EX1401
Multibeam and singlebeam mapping operations will be conducted 24 hours a day throughout the cruise. Sub-bottom profile mapping will be conducted each day between the hours of 1000 and 2200 throughout the cruise.

Distribution Formats |
- Kongsberg EM302 water column data (.wcd) format (Version: 1)
- File Specification: Kongsberg/Simrad .raw files are generated by ME70, EK60 or ES60 instruments. They contain power and optionally angular position data with each beam/frequency identified by an independent channel. See the Simrad interface specification manual for further information. The .wcd files are generated by Kongsberg EM302 or EM122 instruments. See Kongsberg documentation for more information.

Purpose |
To assess ship's essential operational equipment and procedures; to conduct emergency drills; to assess ship's equipment necessary to support operations; to test ship's ROV support systems; to conduct multibeam system testing in the vicinity of Veatch Canyon, to conduct sound velocity comparison cast between CTD and XBT; to collect deep-water multibeam sonar, subbottom and singlebeam sonar data; to train new personnel in all mapping data collection processes and procedures; to assess affect of subbottom noise mitigation measures; to verify inventory of spares of all mapping sensors, to test telepresence operations, and to prepare the 2014 readiness report. |
