Four frequency (18, 38, 120, and 200 kHz) split-beam, echosounder data were collected from Miller Freeman during the entire spring 2010 CCE survey. The survey transects from legs 1 and 2 totaled approximately 3109 n.mi., including 10 cross-shelf transects and 7 north-south connecting segments, spanning an area from San Diego (ca. 32 °N latitude) to San Francisco (ca. 38 °N), California, and from approximately 5 to 250 n.mi. offshore. The transects were approximately 200 to 280 n.mi. long and were typically 40 n.mi. apart. Leg 1 of the survey commenced with a calibration of the echosounders with the ship at dock in San Diego. After calibration was complete, the ship departed San Diego on 2 April at 18:00 PST (3 April, 02:00 GMT), sailed to the first sampling station (94.9-29.9), and then proceeded westward on CalCOFI Line 95. The echosounders were operated continuously along four transects (Line 95, 91.7, 88.3, and 85), after which the ship pulled into and docked at Port Hueneme, CA on 9 April for personnel transfers. The ship departed Port Hueneme for leg 2 at 17:00 GMT on 12 April. After a one-day weather delay, Miller Freeman sailed northward to Station 81.7-45, and began Transect 5 of the survey. Leg 2 followed Lines 81.7, 78.3, 75.8, 73.3, and 66.7 (traversed in both directions). The vessel returned to San Diego on 22 April. Prior to the CalCOFI survey (leg 3 of the CCE cruise), the echosounders were calibrated with the ship docked in San Diego. Results and settings from the calibration are described in detail in section 2.3.1. Leg 3 of the CCE cruise departed from the 10th Avenue terminal in San Diego on 26 April at approximately 23:00 GMT, with the planned route (lines 93.3, 90, 86.7, 83.3, 80, and 76.7). Due to bad weather, stations 70 and 60 on line 90 had to be skipped during that transect. Additionally, due to a faulty fire alarm panel, the Miller Freeman had to dock at Port Hueneme on 7 May until repairs could be completed, leading to missed stations on line 83.3. On 13 May, the Miller Freeman left Port Hueneme and continued on line 83.3, with a new cruise plan in order to survey each station. Leg 3 was comprised of 6 cross-shelf transects with 5 north-sound segments connecting each line. The surveyed area totaled approximately 2,120 n.mi. and ranged from roughly San Diego (ca. 32 °N latitude) to Avila Beach (ca. 35 °N). The goals of this survey are to: 1) collect multiple-frequency echosounder data to detect, map the distributions and estimate the abundances of CPS, including Pacific sardine (Sardinop sagax), anchovy (Engraulis mordax), Pacific mackerel (Scomber japonicus) and jack mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus); and krill (euphausiids) off the west coast of the United States of America from approximately San Diego to San Francisco; 2) characterize the biotic and abiotic environment of these CPS and krill, and investigate linkages; and 3) gather information about their schooling behavior, and diel vertical migration. completed NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Water Column Sonar Data Manager (303) 497-4742 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 Boulder CO 80305-3328 USA wcd.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact notPlanned Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics > Acoustic Scattering Earth Science > Oceans > Aquatic Sciences > Fisheries Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Pelagic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Benthic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Aquatic Ecosystems Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seafloor Topography theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2020-01-09 publication 9.1 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

MF0101_EK60 completed NOAA Ship Miller Freeman Miller Freeman (MF) The Miller Freeman was decommissioned on 3/29/13 after many years of exemplary service. Pictures of the ceremony will be posted here when available - please check back soon. Miller Freeman was a 215-foot fisheries and oceanographic research vessel and was one of the largest research trawlers in the United States. Miller Freeman's primary mission was to provide a working platform for the study of the ocean's living resources. The ship was named for Miller Freeman (1875-1955), a publisher who was actively involved in the international management of fish harvests. The ship was launched in 1967, but not fully rigged until 1975. The vessel was again re-rigged in 1982. Miller Freeman was homeported at the Marine Operations Center-Pacific in Newport, Oregon. With a 12,578 mile / 31 day endurance, Miller Freeman was capable of operating in any waters of the world. Miller Freeman was owned by the United States of America, Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ship was operated by NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations and carried a complement of 7 NOAA Corps officers, 27 crew members, and maximum of 11 scientists.
