Okeanos Explorer (EX1704): CAPSTONE American Samoa and Cook Islands (Telepresence Mapping)
Vessel: NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer; Expedition Dates: April 4 - 21, 2017
Project Principals: Elizabeth Lobecker, NOAA/OAR/OER (Expedition Coordinator); Derek Sowers, NOAA/OAR/OER (Mapping Lead)
Operations for this cruise will include 24 hour mapping, and continuous telepresence-based remote participation in mapping operations. Multibeam and splitbeam mapping operations will be conducted 24 hours a day throughout the cruise. Sub-bottom profile mapping will be conducted 24 hours a day at the discretion of the CO. XBT and Underway CTD sound velocity casts in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations will be conducted at an interval defined by prevailing oceanographic conditions, but not to exceed 6 hours. All mapping data will be fully processed according to standard procedures and will be archived with the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
