Description:"Operations for this cruise will include ROV, mapping, CTD rosette and telepresence-based remote participation. The expedition will be staged in and out of Pearl Harbor, HI with operations beginning on August 28th and concluding on September 3rd. Operations will use the ship's deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonar, and Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), NOAA's two-body 6000 m remotely operated vehicle (ROVs Deep Discoverer and Seirios), CTD rosette, and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for real-time ship to shore communications. Daytime ROV dives are planned every day from August 28 to September 3. ROV dives will include high-resolution visual surveys, instrument recoveries, and limited rock and biologic specimen sampling. Mapping operations will be conducted overnight and when the ROV is on deck. CTD casts are not currently planned, but may be requested during the cruise to collect more environmental information at sites of interest. This cruise will collect data and information in support of NOAA's Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program, and will help establish a baseline of information in the region to catalyze further exploration, research and management activities"--Overview.
