Okeanos Explorer (EX1404L1): Shakedown and Mapping, NE Seamounts Overview Map

The first leg of EX1404 includes various shakedown items that are necessary after the ship has been alongside for the summer, including at-sea testing of the VSAT and communications networks and systems, mapping software updates, hardware upgrades, and sonar calibrations. The transit and the mapping site both are selected to optimize coverage in areas that have been previously unexplored. The working grounds for this leg will extend eastward the existing coverage of the New England Seamount chain.
