Description:This document contains project instructions for EX-19-05-Leg 2. Operations for this expedition will be conducted 24 hours per day, and consist of daily remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives, overnight mapping operations, and full shore-based participation via telepresence technology. The expedition will commence on August 26, 2019 in Halifax, Canada (pier location to be determined), and conclude on September 15, 2019 in North Kingstown, Rhode Island (2578 Davisville Road, North Kingstown, Rhode Island 02852). Operations will include the use of the ship’s deep-water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam, EK60/EK80 split-beam fisheries sonars, Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler, and Teledyne acoustic Doppler current profiler), XBTs in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations, CTD casts, OER’s two-body ROV system ( Deep Discoverer and Seirios ), and the ship’s high-bandwidth satellite connection for continuous ship-to-shore communications. Operations will focus on exploring deep waters (>250 m) in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the Northeast U.S. Coast, as well as in adjacent waters in the EEZ of Canada.
