Field Activity 2008-034-FA

Identifier 2008-034-FA
Alternate names R-34-08-MA
Purpose Ground truth NOAA hydrographic survey H11346 of the entrance to Edgartown Harbor with seismic reflection. One day primarily employed the Uniboom system; one day primarily employed the Knudsen Chirp.
Location Edgartown Harbor, Nantucket Sound, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary Equipment problems prevented data acquisition on August 18, but 57 km of Knudsen Chirp seismic reflection profiles and 17 km of Uniboom seismic reflection profiles were collected along tracklines on August 19-20.
