Leg II operations were conducted in the waters of the North Pacific along the 158°W and 161°W meridians, from 22.75°N to 36°N (Fig. 2). The Simrad EK60 echosounder calibration was conducted at Kealakekua Bay. Coordinated acoustic and BotCam operations were conducted in the lee waters of Maui. Conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) casts to a depth of 1000 m were conducted regularly along the Leg II track. Acoustic backscatter, current velocity, and surface temperature and salinity data were collected continuously throughout both legs"--Page 1.
