Summary: | NODC Accession 0112169 includes marine mammal observation and biological data collected aboard the LAURENCE M. GOULD and NATHANIEL B. PALMER during cruises LMG0103, NBP0103 and NBP0104 in the South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 2001-03-21 to 2001-08-28. These data include MARINE MAMMALS. The instruments used to collect these data include acoustic sensor. These data were collected by John Hildebrand of University of California-San Diego as part of Southern Ocean GLOBEC. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-07-31. The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: Working Procedure: A sonobuoy is deployed and monitored until it is out of range. The length of time the sonobuoy can be heard depends on the speed of the ship, the sonobuoy's direction relative to the ship and the prevailing sea, ice and weather conditions. When a whale is heard, an attempt is made to identify the species and note it. If a seal is heard, it is just noted as a seal. The sonobuoy was set to scuttle after 8 hours. Questions regarding these data should be directed to: John Hildebrand Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD 9500 Gilman Drive La Jolla CA, 92093-0205 Email: jhildebrand@ucsd.edu Last Updated February 22, 2006
