Okeanos Explorer (EX1201): Ship Shakedown and Patch Tests
Vessel: NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer; Expedition Dates: February 14 - 23, 2012
Project Principals: Adam Skarke, NOAA/OAR/OER (Expedition Coordinator and Mapping Lead)
The vessel shakedown and sonar patch test was conducted within the context of a ship transit from Davisville, RI to Charleston, SC. During the transit, multibeam data was collected 24 hours a day and XBT casts were conducted at an interval defined by prevailing oceanographic conditions, but at most every 6 hours. Tests of shipboard sensors were conducted and mapping survey patch tests were performed. Shore-based scientists were able to participate alongside those on-board through the use of telepresence. The project is also a contributor to the Atlantic Canyons Undersea Mapping Expedition (ACUMEN) 2012 project.
