EX1105: Field Trials of EM302 Multibeam Sonar Water Column Backscatter on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer between 20110822 and 20110910
During this OER project in partnership with NOAA's National
Marine Fisheries Service and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation,
and Enforcement (BOEMRE), two ships will work collaboratively in the Gulf of
Mexico to map known targets of man-made or natural seeps to test the use of
their sensors to detect these seeps. The NOAA Ship Pisces will utilize its ME70
multibeam sonar sensor and the Okeanos Explorer will use its state-of-the-art
Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar system and its newly acquired EK60 echosounder.
Of special interest to the objectives of this mission is the water column
backscatter data component of the EM302 multibeam survey system. These data will
be analyzed as they are collected over known natural and man-made seeps in the
Gulf of Mexico and, along with the data from the newly acquired EK60
echosounder, will be compared to those data collected by the Pisces ME70 and
single beam sonar sensors.
