EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SH1610

1. Use paired midwater trawls to evaluate potential selectivity of Pacific hake age/size classes by different codend liners (Standard AWT 32 mm versus 7 mm used by DFO on their Cantrawl) in the Aleutian wing trawl 24/20 (AWT). Midwater trawling for this research will take place on all three survey legs.
2. Use paired trawls to evaluate performance of net with and without the marine mammal excluder installed.
3. Test a larger kite on the AWT for stability and ease of use with headrope sensors.
4. Continuously sample multi-frequency acoustic backscatter data using the shipâs Simrad EK60, EK80, and ME70 scientific echo sounder systems to estimate the distributions and abundances of hake, myctophids, gelatinous zooplankton, and krill.
5. Conduct research using the EK80 to distinguish between hake, myctophids, and rockfish. Compare EK80 backscatter signature with that of the EK60.
6. Optically observe fish behavior inside daytime trawls using a video or stereo camera and lights mounted inside the net. Test stereo camera system for quantifying fish species and length.
7. Collect a variety of other acoustic, biological, and oceanographic samples to characterize the biotic and abiotic environments and predator-prey interactions of the surveyed species.
8. Investigate near-field calibration techniques.
9. Use night operations time to conduct hydrographic measurements with a CTD. A NWFSC dissolved O2 sensor will also be mounted on the CTD.
10. Sample profiles of temperature and salinity using an underway conductivitytemperature-depth (CTD) system during daytime operations.
11. Continuously sample air temperature, barometric pressure, and wind speed and direction using the shipâs integrated weather station.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During PC1007

Deepwater Horizon SEAMAP data. Unconventional configurations for both the EK60s and the ME70 allowed for three-dimensional images to be created from the split-aperture acoustic data. The ME70 configuration developed required Simrad to provide new software.

Using the EK60's, we imaged methane seeps in many locations surrounding the wellhead and at the wellhead. Seeps occur naturally in this area, and the challenge is to identify new or more intense seeps. Using both the EK60s and the ME70, we imaged the Deepwater Horizon rig on the seabed, among many riser pipes and other apparatus. When the Subsurface Monitoring Unit expressed concern that the noise level was too high for observations near the wellhead, I identified that the signal could be increased and the noise decreased, improving the signal-to-noise ratio by an order of magnitude, by increasing the pulse durations at 18 and 38 kHz from one to four milliseconds. Enabled by this enhanced configuration, I identified that the wellhead was burping methane hydrate intermittently and the emissions were rising at approximately 10 m per minute. The source of the bubbles and hydrate were observed on the BP-ROV images taken at the wellhead. When BP complained that the horizontal res
olution of our detections was too poor due to the 11 degree beamwidth of the 18 kHz transducer, I advocated the use of our new biplanar interferometric technique which increased the resolution one to two orders of magnitude (from ca. 300 m to ca. 10-20 m at 1500 m range) and provided sub-beam imagery (detailed in Cutter and Demer, 2010). Randy implemented his biplanar interferometric software (now BP-interferometry) and is generating very high-resolution 3-D images of the wellhead, seeps, and surrounding area. I generated 3-D maps of the seep locations and acoustically-tracked four large targets in the area, perhaps sperm whales.

EM2040 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During CE16014

TRASNA  (TRASNA: Transocean Survey North Atlantic). Coverage includes a swath of multibeam data parallel to the Atlantic Transect acquired in 2015. the primary focus of the survey was on a previously identified seabed feature in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The survey was conducted between May 12th and May 21 and consist of a single transit line collected from St. Johns to Galway. Survey was conducted at high speed of 10-12 kt due to time constrains and the need to reach the priority area in the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) where sampling and video drops were acquired. The passage was affected by severe inclement weather who affected multibeam quality of the inital few days. Quality then became better in proximity of the Mid Atlantic Ridge but nevertheless multibeam quality is moderate to poor. Weather improved on the second half of the passage allowing the collection of good multibeam data. At the MAR location, 1 hour video drop camera and few dredge samples were also collected. Further survey work was carried out on the Porcupine Bank area where Chirp and Sparker data were acquired to improve the knowledge about the glacial hystory of the Porcupine.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During OES0602

Oceanographic Survey in the American Samoa Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) (OES0602, EK60). Oceanographic data were collected along five predetermined transects in the American Samoa EEZ and consisted of CTD casts, trawl samples, and continuous current and EK60 recordings.  CTD cats were conducted at predetermined stations.  CTDs were equipped with oxygen sensors and fluorometers.  Trawl operations were conducted at predetermined stations along the transects using a Cobb trawl at depths of the shallow and deep sound scattering layers.  Currents were continuously monitored using a RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).  Biological backscatter were recorded using the EK60 echosounder system (38, and 120 kHz) along the transects.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SH1103

2011 Joint U.S.-Canada Integrated Acoustic and Trawl Survey of Pacific Hake (Merluccius productus) (SH1103, EK60). Scientists from the Fishery Resource Analysis and Monitoring (FRAM) division at the NOAA Fisheries Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and the Pacific region of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) conducted the Joint 2011 Integrated Acoustic Survey (IAT) survey aboard the NOAA Ship Miller Freeman and the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) W.E. Ricker, both are stern trawlers equipped for fisheries and oceanographic research.  Pacific Hake (Merluccius productus) aggregations were targeted along the continental shelf and upper slope of the entire survey area. 

Hake populations were surveyed along a series of parallel line transects that in general were oriented east-west, spaced at an interval of 10 nmi apart, and traversed sequentially in alternating directions; The survey on Miller Freeman (US portion) began from near Morro Bay, CA (35.2Â°N) to the west of Barkley Sound, Canada (51.7Â°N) between June 23 and Sep. 5, while the survey on W.E. Ricker began from near US/Canada border (49.2Â°N) to the Dixon Entrance area, Canada (54.9Â°N) between Aug. 13 to Sep. 9.  All transects up to the Dixon Entrance and along the west coast of Haida Gwaii were completed. Sea depth at the inshore end of individual transects was nominally 50 m. Offshore extent of individual transects was typically at a depth of 1,500 m. However, this package includes only the EK60 raw data from the US portion only.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During AL0502

NEFSC 2005 Winter Bottom Trawl Survey (AL0502, EK500). The NEFSC bottom trawl survey is a fisheries independent, multi-species survey that provides the primary scientific data for fisheries assessments in the U.S. mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Two bottom trawl surveys are conducted each year, one in the spring and one in the autumn. The survey is a standardized, stratified random design, with stratification based on bathymetry and multiple trawl sites within each stratum. Trawl sites are selected randomly, but the overall ship path is south to north. The survey covers the continental shelf and U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina into the Canadian EEZ. The primary gear is a bottom trawl, with CTD, multifrequency echosounder, and a host of other scientific sensor data collected ancillary to the bottom trawl catches.
