Okeanos Explorer (EX1402L2): Gulf of Mexico Mapping and Exploration
Transit mapping operations will collect bathymetry, sub-bottom
profiles, water column backscatter, and seafloor backscatter over the
continental shelf and Claypile Bank in accordance with request from the
scientific community. Survey mapping operations will collect continuous
bathymetry, sub-bottom profiles, water column backscatter, and seafloor
backscatter over the area to the south of Flower Garden Banks NMS, also in
accordance with the scientific community. Data will provide details about
biological habitats in the area and improve understanding of the ecological
connection between mid-water and deepwater biological communities. During
EX-14-02 Leg 2, multibeam, single beam, and sub-bottom profile data will be
collected 24 hours a day and XBT casts will be conducted at an interval defined
by prevailing oceanographic conditions, but not to exceed 6
hours.
