        abstract:  The Windows to the Deep 2021: Southeast U.S. ROV and Mapping expedition (EX-21-07) was a combined mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) expedition to the Blake Plateau and Florida Straits that took place between October 26 and November 15, 2021. Operations during this 21-days at sea expedition included a combination of ROV dives in support of NOAA Ocean Exploration and its partner priorities. The primary focus of this expedition was the Blake Plateau, including its escarpment, off the coast of the Southeast U.S., but three dives were also conducted in the western and central Florida Straits due to weather conditions. Overall, 14 dives were completed, including two explorations of the water column, several dives to mound and ridgelike structures likely to be bioherms, two deeper dives to explore the steep Blake Escarpment, and one dive to document a lone sinkhole in the southeast region of the Blake Plateau. ROV dives were conducted from 300 m to 3650 meters water depth for a total of 47 hours of bottom time, and 15,800 square km were mapped using EM 304 multibeam sonar. All data associated with this expedition have been archived and are publicly available through the NOAA Archives.
        purpose:  EX-21-07 will focus operations on U.S. waters off the U.S. East Coast with a focus on the Blake Plateau. Mapping, ROV operations will be conducted at depths between 250-5000 meters.

        rangeElementDescription:  (MI_RangeElementDescription)
            name:  Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD)
            definition:  A CTD device's primary function is to detect how the conductivity and temperature of the water column changes relative to depth. Conductivity is a measure of how well a solution conducts electricity and it is directly related to salinity. By measuring the conductivity of seawater, the salinity can be derived from the temperature and pressure of the same water. The depth is then derived from the pressure measurement by calculating the density of water from the temperature and the salinity.
            rangeElement: (inapplicable)
        rangeElementDescription:  (MI_RangeElementDescription)
            name:  Sound Velocity Profile
            definition:  The XBT (Expendable Bathythermograph) measures temperature through the water column. XBT software calculates sound velocity, which is applied to the multibeam data for accurate measure of bathymetry.

        rangeElementDescription:  (MI_RangeElementDescription)
            name:  Sub-bottom Profiler
            definition:  The sub-bottom profiling system installed in the hull of Okeanos is a type of 'chirp' instrument. Instead of emitting sound at a fixed frequency (rate at which a full sound wave is transmitted), a chirp system sweeps through a wide-frequency band (three to four kilohertz wide) that allows the outgoing signal to be more powerful and able to resolve geologic layering/features at a higher resolution.
            rangeElement: (inapplicable)

Teledyne RDI's vessel-mounted Ocean Surveyor family of ADCPs continues to raise the bar, collecting detailed maps of the distribution of water currents and suspended materials through the water column and along the ship's path - at depths and resolutions previously considered unattainable. In real time, the ADCP is also used to aid in situ decision-making, to adapt field operations, and to understand current regime characteristics.

            description:  Deep Discoverer, or "D2", is a 6,000m rated ocean exploration remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Operating from the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer (R337), D2 is part of an advanced two-body tethered system. Its two high definition cameras and 16,600 lumens of hydraulically positionable LED lights produce broadcast-quality high definition video streamed live to internet connections around the world via telepresence. Navigational sensors, including a fiber optic gyroscope and doppler velocity log, 40HP of electric propulsion, and an integrated control system capable of precise auto-pilot flight and station-keeping, allow pilots to image the most obscure objects of the subsea world. D2 transmits real-time sensor measurements of conductivity, temperature, depth, pressure, and more through its high speed fiber optic communications. Additionally, a hydraulic pump powers two 7-function manipulators and an extendable utility drawer. Three large syntactic foam blocks give D2 the ability to install up to 400 lbs of additional equipment making Deep Discoverer a very flexible platform for ocean exploration.

                code:  Seirios
            description:  Seirios is a 6,000m rated camera platform designed for ocean exploration as part of a two-body tethered system. As a stainless steel framed platform of cameras, lights, and sensors, Seirios operates from the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer (R337) along with the ROV Deep Discoverer. Attached to the ship by the electro-optical-mechanical 0.68 cable, Seirios carries an articulated HD camera and six 400W HMI lights for video production and improved lighting for D2. Fore and aft lateral thrusters enable Seirios to turn 360 degrees to maintain illumination in a desired direction. Seirios can also move laterally, within the constraints of the its cable. With the ROV attached by a 30m neutrally buoyant tether, one significant reason for utilizing Seirios in this two-body configuration is to decouple Deep Discoverer from the ship's motion. A suite of sensors provide real-time measurements of conductivity, temperature, depth, pressure, and more transmitted through high speed fiber optic communications.
