Purpose
Scientific Objectives
Objectives of the cruise are to conduct numerous studies
to further the scientific knowledge of the MBNMS to enhance
Sanctuary management and resource stewardship.
Summary
Overview Of Operations: Government and academic scientists affiliated
with the MBNMS, Office of Coastal Ocean Resources, NOS, will conduct several
studies aboard the NOAA ship McArthur in two separate legs, the first leg from
April 2 to April 15, 1995, and the second leg from May 9 to May 21, 1995.

Equipment notes: sidescansonar with all associated equipment (1m x .3m x .3 m in
size,
100 khz frequency, about 90 db output; winch occupies a 2 m square foot
print on deck.)
uniboom with all associated equipment (a surface-towed sled, 1.5 m squa
re,
hand-deployed over the fantail, 1khz frequency, about 100 db output)
planktonnet: they consist of metal rings 0,5 or 1.0 meters in diameter
plus a 2-meter long mesh bag) and associated sampling equipment
rawinsonde system
driftbuoy
boxcore: two box coring systems (big blue which gives a 40 cm by 40 cm
sample
and a standard nel box corer which gives a 20 cm by 30 cm sample)- both
weigh
about 1500 lbs
sis1000: chirp seismic-reflection profiler with all associated equipmen
t
(eg-winch). the chirp system (datasonics cap-6000) fish weighs 300 lbs
in air
and is about 0.75 m long. the lab consoles are two 9" racks, each about
22" high.
they weight about 100 lbs total. the fish transmits a swept band from 1
to 10 khz
and has an output of about 200 db referenced to 1m.
bathymetry: depthsounder
planktonnet: planktontrawl
bathymetry: bathymetric and navigation equipment
tempsalinometer: seacats
