Auriga Fantail


Side-by-side vans on fantail of the ship Auriga, from geophysical cruise A-1-00-SC. The van to the left houses Electronics shop and space for data processing. Electronics Technicians Larry Kooker (standing) and Dave Gonzales confer over repair of the mini-sparker. Right-hand van contains the computer stations for underway watch during data collection. Mechanical Technician Kevin O'Toole stands by the winch, ready to raise or lower the Huntec towfish so that it does not run into the seafloor.

Notice also the catamaran sled for towing Geopulse boomer (cylindrical white floats in foreground), and the yellow cable of the multi-channel seismic-reflection streamer on the winch to the left.
