Equipment Used
AUV and ROV Sentry
echosounder
Purpose
Map submarine landslides as part of a WHOI test cruise of
the hybrid AUV and ROV Sentry
Summary
Using the hull-mounted Knudsen 320BR
deepwater echosounder on the Oceanus,
approximately 1065 km of 3.5 kHz sub-bottom data
were collected over the 6 days of the cruise
(see map). Data were acquired in both Knudsen
proprietary binary format (.keb) viewable only
in the Knudsen Post Survey software and in
standard SEG-Y format for later processing.
Multibeam data was not collected in the survey
area because of technical problems with the
RESON multibeam sonar aboard the Sentry.
Notes
This is part of a WHOI enginerring
testing cruise.
Map submarine landslides as part of a WHOI test cruise of the hybrid AU
V and ROV Sentry. The full cruise report is being
prepared by Drs. Chris German and Dana Yoerger.
6 days at sea.
1065 kms. of continuous data.
4 stations occupied.
