"EX-15-03L2, multibeam data will be collected 24 hours a day and XBT casts will be conducted at an interval defined by prevailing oceanographic conditions, but not to exceed 6 hours. Additionally, EK 60 (single beam) and sub-bottom profile data will be collected 24 hours per day. Data will only be collected in foreign waters where clearance has been granted. If no permit was obtained, all data collection systems will be shut down in those foreign waters. All multibeam data will be fully processed according to standard onboard procedures and will be archived with the National Geophysical Data Center. Ancillary sonar datasets will be archived at the National Oceanographic Data Center"--Abstract (ISO 19115-2 metadata).
