Summary
|
May 13, Weds., Worley arrives in PM to set up gear on
boat at Norton s Marina, East Greenwich, RI; May 14, Thurs., Worley,
Bratton, King, Miller survey with 50-m CRP streamer in Greenwich Cove,
Apponaug Cove, around perimeter of Greenwich Bay, and several N-S
crossings in western half, King put off at marina at noon, VeeAnn Cross
checks AM data remotely back in Woods Hole--looks OK; May 15, same crew
(incl. King) survey open parts of Greenwich Bay with 100-m streamer,
periodic salinity measurements with YSI 30 (all 25.5-27.8 ppt), run long
W-E lines, then out mouth to Patience Island, then SW to mouth of
Potowomut Cove, then N back to Greenwich Bay, zigzagging N-S-N over
eastern half of bay, back at pier at 1530. Univ of RI PONTOON BOAT used.

Got Help?
|
For 09021, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, platform, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
