Description
Summary:An intensive oceanographic survey was conducted of the southeastern portion of the Chukchi Sea from 1 August to 2 September 1959. The marine geological phase of the survey is considered. The geological studes were confined to the offshore water. The discussion of the bathymetry and marine geology is based on 2,600 nautical miles of sounding data and on 120 surface grab samples and 11 short gravity cores. The soundings were made with EDO echo sounders MODELS AN/UQN 1B and 255C, operated throughout the survey on 1-foot interval scales. The cruise trak was planned to provide sounding lines normal to the coastal configuration. (Author)
