Count Component Title Abstract
1 EX2202: Caribbean Mapping (MACHC partnership) From March 10 - 28, 2021 (Key West, FL to San Juan, Puerto Rico), NOAA Ocean Exploration conducted mapping operations south of Puerto Rico in U.S. waters, aiding in closing bathymetric gaps within this region. EX-22-02 collected 18,850 square kilometers of bathymetry and associated water column data, 18,033 square kilometers of which were within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and Territorial Sea deeper than 200 m. During mapping operations, NOAA Ocean Exploration simultaneously collected EM 304 multibeam sonar bathymetry observations and Simrad EK60/EK80 split-beam fisheries sonar observations of biologic material in the water column, as well as Knudsen 3260 sub-bottom profiler observations of sub-seafloor geologic structure and sediment. A single CTD cast during the expedition validated deep deployment capabilities in preparation for planned CTD operations on EX-22-03. The exploratory mapping operations conducted during this cruise will provide initial characterization of the region, as well as data to support further exploration.

                                        1 Scientific Computing System The Scientific Computing System (SCS) provides; Navigation Data: Of any position or orientation system. Meterological data: sensors that measure atmospheric properties. Oceanographic data: Sensors that measure the physical and/or chemical properties of the ocean. Sonar data: Single-beam and Doppler Speed. Winches data: three winches output line out, line rate and line tension. Derived data: Sensors that are created in SCS for the purpose of manipulating existing data (i.e.different units, calculating other measurements like true wind).
                                        1 Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) 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.
                                        1 Sound Velocity Profile 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.
                                        1 Multibeam Images of the ocean floor provided by multibeam sonar are a key part of reconnaissance in the Okeanos Explorer exploration strategy for finding anomalies in the deep ocean, and also provide essential information for planning up?close investigations that use the ship?s underwater robots.
                                        1 Split Beam The split-beam echosounders, collect data over a broad range of frequencies, allowing us to distinguish between objects in the water column with more clarity and confidence.
                                        1 Sub-bottom Profiler 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.
                                        1 Water Column Mapping Water column backscatter data collected during the mission is used to explore aspects of the marine environment that are found between the ocean surface and the sea floor.

The ship is operated by the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps and civilians as part of NOAA's fleet managed by NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations. Mission equipment is operated by NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research in partnership with the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration.
