EX1202L1: Gulf of Mexico Exploration on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer between 20120227 and 20120314

EX1202 Leg I of NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer (EX) is focused on exploration of North Eastern region of Gulf of Mexico using the ships’ Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK 60 and Knudsen sub-bottom profiler. EX1202 Leg I operations are expected to commence on February 27, 2012 at Charleston, SC and conclude on March 14, 2012 at Tampa, FL. The planed transit line from Charleston, SC to the working grounds is ~ 1000 nautical miles and is expected to take ~ 5 days at an average speed of 8.5 knots. Multibeam mapping operations will be conducted 24 hours a day during the transit, including regular XBT casts.
