Departure: Feb 18, 2014 | |
Alesund | |
Arrival: Mar 11, 2014 | |
Tromso | |
Operations Area | |
Norwegian Territorial waters from Alesung to Northeastern Extreme | |
Lat/Lon: 62° 28.5′ N / 6° 12.0′ E | |
Depth Range: roughly 50 m / 2000 or more | |
Will the vessel be operating within 200 NM of a foreign country? | Norway |
Are visas or special travel documents required? | no |
Science Objectives | |
Conduct Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing Experiments in the Nordic Seas. One component will be to reveal the currently unknown behavior of many keystone fish species during mass migrations and spawning. | |
Science Activities | |
Towed array sensing and coordination with a Norwegian research vessel using conventional fisheries acoustics and capture trawl gear. | |
