"This document contains project instructions for EX-17-07. Operations for this cruise include focused mapping operations and strategic mapping transits within the waters of Hawaii and in international waters in the vicinity of the Musician Seamounts chain, specifically up to ~650 nm north of Hawaii. The expedition will commence on August 8th in Honolulu and conclude on August 31, 2017 in Honolulu. Operations will include the use of the ship's deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), and Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for hourly data transfer, real-time ship to shore communications, real-time sonar control from shore, and real-time video streaming of sonar screens and ship's cameras"--Page [3].
