Okeanos Explorer (EX1504L4): Campaign to Address Pacific monument Science, Technology, and Ocean NEeds (CAPSTONE) Leg IV

EX1504L4;Okeanos ROV Cruises

browse graphic
The ship will conduct 24 hour operations consisting of daytime
ROV dives and evening/nighttime mapping operations including during transit.
During this cruise we will conduct 8 hour ROV dives on most days with occasional
10 or 12 hour dives on particularly interesting or deep dive sites. ROV
operations will focus in depths between 250 and 6,000 meters and will include
high-resolution visual surveys and limited sample collection. Mapping operations
will be conducted in 250m of water and deeper, and include transit and overnight
multibeam, water column backscatter, and sub-bottom data collection.
Opportunistic CTD rosette operations may be requested to collect more
information about the environmental parameters at ROV dives sites, or
opportunistically at selected sites where collecting the data is considered
important to understanding the physical or chemical properties of the overlying
water column. ROV and mapping operations will not be conducted in state waters.
CTD rosette operations may be requested in state waters.

    Purpose From July to September 2015, NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer will conduct four telepresence-enabled ocean exploration cruises as part of the ?Hohonu Moana: Exploring the Deep Waters off Hawai?i? Expedition to collect critical baseline information to meet NOAA science and management needs within the Hawaiian Archipelago and Johnston Atoll. The expedition is the first in a three-year Campaign of Expeditions (Campaign to Address Pacific monument Science, Technology, and Ocean NEeds or CAPSTONE) focused on exploring deepwater marine protected areas in the Pacific, serves as an opportunity for NOAA and the Nation to highlight the uniqueness and importance of the Pacific Monuments and Sanctuaries, which are national symbols of ocean conservation. Operations conducted during this campaign support NOAA missions to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans and coasts, and share that knowledge and information with others. Much of this year?s work will contribute to and complement Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program?s three-year Pacific Islands Regional Initiative.
