        abstract:  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.
        purpose:  EX-22-02 operations will involve a transit eastward followed by focused ocean mapping operations that will occur in U.S. waters south of Puerto Rico, mostly in deep water (>200 m). The expedition will include 24-hour-a-day exploratory mapping operations to fill mapping gaps.

            name:  Scientific Computing System
            definition:  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).

        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.
            rangeElement: (inapplicable)
        rangeElementDescription:  (MI_RangeElementDescription)
            name:  Multibeam
            definition:  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.
            rangeElement: (inapplicable)
        rangeElementDescription:  (MI_RangeElementDescription)
            name:  Split Beam
            definition:  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.
            rangeElement: (inapplicable)
        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)
        rangeElementDescription:  (MI_RangeElementDescription)
            name:  Water Column Mapping
            definition:  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.

                description:  The EM 304 consists of a new state-of-the-art electronics and separate transmit and receive transducers in a Mills Cross configuration. It utilizes the same field-proven transducers as the EM 302, making it easy to upgrade. Care has been taken to design a highly, modular and flexible solution with compact electronics for easier and faster installation. Due to a flexible transducer design, the system can be tailored to almost any required size. The largest standard size, 0.5 x 0.5 degrees, gives the ultimate system performance in terms of resolution and range, while a smaller 4 x 4 degrees solution can be installed on any vessel of opportunity

                description:  The Simrad EK60 Scientific Sounder system is a new generation fishery researchtool, based on experience from the EK500. The new electronic hardware is combined with up to date PC processing and Windows operation. The EK60 provides facilities for accurate echo sounding, data storage, data analysis and reporting results. The system communication is through Ethernet, which gives flexibility in the location of the EK60 system units and allows easy access to data from other instruments or stations on a vessel network. A post processing software, BI60, is also included in the EK60 system.

                description:  The WetLabs ECO FLNTU is a dual-wavelength, single-angle sensor for simultaneously determining both chlorophyll fluorescence and turbidity. It detects light scattered by particles suspended in water, generating an output voltage proportional to turbidity or suspended solids. Scaling factors are used to convert the voltage readings to values representing chlorophyll concentration and turbidity expressed in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs).
