PI: Jennifer Miksis-Olds

The goal of this expedition is to recover and deploy a bottom lander at the ADEON JAX site.  This lander was not recovered on AR40 although the acoustic release was communicating and indicated release.

Scientific Instrumentation for R/V Armstrong


- added We will focus on recovery of the bottom pods and PIES using an Oceaneering Comanche ROV.  Monitoring current speeds with the ADCPs will be critical.  We will also need sound speed, determined with either/both XBTs and CTDs. Near bottom navigation will be supported by USBL system. on Dec 13, 2019 2:14 PM by Sarah Fuller
- added We will be accessing simple imagery (SST and surface current maps) to assess Gulf Stream position during operations.  Files will not be large (< 1MB). on Dec 13, 2019 2:14 PM by Sarah Fuller
