Title: |
Oceanographic data collected during EX1710 (Canal Transit and Gulf of Mexico Mapping (Mapping)) expedition on NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico from 2017-11-15 to 2017-11-22 (NCEI Accession 0171079) |
Abstract: |
This dataset contains oceanographic data collected beginning in Balboa, Panama and concluding in Key West, Florida. This was an exploratory mapping cruise. Operational areas included transiting through the Panama Canal, exploratory transit mapping through the Caribbean Sea, the Seaflower Marine Protected Area in Colombian waters, and the Gulf of Mexico. Operations included the use of the ship’s deep water mapping systems and the ship’s high-bandwidth satellite connection for hourly data transfer, real-time ship to shore communications, and real-time video streaming of sonar screens and ship’s cameras. The transit routes between the starting and ending ports was for maximum mapping of discrete geologic features, including seamounts and ridges with little or no existing modern sonar data coverage. Data acquisition from shipboard sensors includes navigation data, meteorological data (wind, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure), and oceanographic data (thermosalinograph, sound velocity probe, bathythermograph). Operations also included the use of the ship’s Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP). |
