OMAO-5921 (EM304 System Acceptance Test)
Vessel: NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer; Expedition Dates: March 03, 2020 to March 08, 2020
Ports: Pascagoula, MS to Key West, FL
Project Principals: Shannon Hoy, NOAA/OAR/OER (Expedition Coordinator and Mapping Lead)
EX-20-00 departed from Pascagoula, Mississippi on March 3 and arrived in Key West, Florida on March 8, 2020. The primary purpose of this cruise was to perform the sea acceptance trials of the newly installed EM 304 topside unit. The multibeam receive array was replaced in 2018, and the transmit array is the original from the 2007 install. Visiting Kongsberg technicians performed and observed required tests to ensure acceptable functionality of the unit. These tests included a geometric calibration (patch test), speed-noise testing, and accuracy testing with both a shallow and deep reference survey.
