Science Activities | |
| 1. Initial deployment of 7 bottom landers. 2. Recovery of first bottom lander on return trip, data download, and re-deployment. 3. Sound propagation experiments (12-18 hours) with ship deployed transducer after bottom lander deployment. 4. CTD casts in association with each lander deployment and multiple with sound propagation experiment. 5. Zooplankton net tows in conjunction with each lander deployment. 6. Fine-scale acoustic survey transects. | |

| Shipboard instruments required: EK80 - Yes Multibeam - Not critical, would like to us it to confirm landing locations CTD - They have some instruments that they would like to mount to the CTD frame with hose clamps after removing some bottles. The CTD will be used to calibrate the bottom lander. They have a mid-water net (450 meters) they would like to tow at 1-2 knots using the CTD cable. Expect about 14 CTD casts interspersed with net tows. Need to have plan to switch wire between blocks. | |
