Notes
|
|
In early September, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
|
|
(MBNMS) project conducted a very successful 10-day cruise on the
|
|
continental shelf between Carmel and the Golden Gate. The cruise was
|
|
a very high resolution seismic-reflection cruise aboard the NOAA ship
|
|
McArthur. The geophysical leg was designed to delineate the three-
|
|
dimensional spatial distribution of areas of sediment erosion,
|
|
deposition, bypass, and outcrops within this shelf region. We
|
|
used the newly remodeled HUNTEC system to collect approximately
|
|
1400 trackline-km of very high resolution boomer data (centered in
|
|
the 2-kHz to 2.5-kHz range). The system performed beautifully and
|
|
provided high-quality data, at times to subbottom depths exceeding
|
|
100 m.
|
|
|
|
Roberto Anima was co-chief, and Kaye Kinoshita, Rebecca Preston,
|
|
and Glenn Spinelli provided support during the geophysical work.
|
|
We conducted the cruise at a time when MARFAC was hard pressed with
|
|
the BASIX III operation. Fred Payne, Mike Boyle, and Graham Standen
|
|
(GEOFORCE tech) got to play with the HUNTEC system during the
|
|
geophysical leg. I thank MARFAC and particularly Fred and Mike for
|
|
their help in making the cruise successful. (Paraphrased from
