Description
Summary:EX-23-05 ... : This document contains project instructions specific to EX2305. For the annual cross-expedition details, see the “NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer FY23 Field Season Instructions.” This expedition will commence on July 31, 2023, in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and conclude on August 17, 2023 in Kodiak, Alaska. Operations will be conducted 24 hours a day, and consist of mapping operations and full shore-based participation via telepresence. Operations will include the use of the ship’s deepwater mapping systems (Kongsberg EM 304 multibeam, EK60/EK80 split-beam sonars, Knudsen 3260 Chirp sub-bottom profiler, and Teledyne acoustic Doppler current profilers), expendable bathythermograph (XBTs) in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations, conductivity, temperature, depth profiler (CTD) casts, and a high-bandwidth satellite connection for continuous ship-to-shore communications. Operations will focus on exploring deep waters greater than 200 m in U.S. waters off of Alaska. ...
