Okeanos Explorer (EX1601): Transit and Mission Patch Test

Vessel: NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer; Expedition Dates: January 20 - February 7, 2016

Okeanos Explorer (EX1601): Transit and Mission Patch Test Overview Map

Normal underway operations and mapping patch testing. Bathymetric mapping of either the Murray or Molokai Fracture Zones during the transit to Hawaii is planned, as allowed by equipment shakedown priorities and prevailing sea conditions. CTD casts may be requested at strategic locations along the fracture zone. New equipment in need of shakedown testing includes a new Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) antenna, a new Keyboard-Video-Monitor (KVM) system, new Doppler speed log, four new EK 60 single beam sonars, two new ADCPs, new digital file storage systems, and a newly installed Underway CTD.
