Okeanos Explorer (EX1402L1): Gulf of Mexico Mapping and Exploration

EX1402L1;EX1402L1

During EX1402L1, multibeam,single beam, and subbottom 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. All
multibeam data will be fully processed according to standard onboard procedures
and will be archived with the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). Subbottom
sonar data will be also be archived with NGDC. Split-beam EK60 data will be
archived at the National Oceanographic Data Center.
