Oceanographic data and ROV dive-related multimedia and information collected during the EX1608 (FY17 Ship and ROV Shakedown) expedition on NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER in the North Pacific Ocean from 2016-12-01 to 2016-12-08 (NCEI Accession 0159849)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2021-03-05T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset contains oceanographic data collected in Honolulu, Hawaii. This cruise included shakedown and engineering tests for both the ship and the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER), and Global Foundation and Ocean Exploration (GFOE) ROV and telepresence systems. Operations used the ship’s deep water mapping system (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, ADCPs, and Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), NOAA’s two-body 6000m remotely operated vehicles (ROVs Deep Discoverer and Seirios, and the ship’s high-bandwidth satellite connection for real-time ship to shore communications. The ship conducted 24-hour operations consisting of daytime ROV dives, with ship shakedown items and evening/nighttime mapping operations and DP testing.
