EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During EX2102

From May 14-27, 2021, NOAA Ocean Exploration led the 2021 Technology Demonstration on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to Norfolk, Virginia. The expedition brought together NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA JPL), the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and the Inner Space Center/University of Rhode Island (ISC/URO) to advance new ocean technologies and sampling techniques. The expedition had three overall objectives; field testing and engineering readiness of WHOI/NASA JPL Orpheus autonomous underwater vehicles, piloting environmental DNA (eDNA) collection for NOAA Ocean Exploration and mapping priority deepwater areas offshore the U.S. Southeast, largely focused on the Blake Plateau. During 14 days at sea, 8 AUV deployments were completed between 12 and 866 meters in depth. Over 724 GB of downlooking AUV 4K video were collected. The AUVs surveyed 30 linear kilometers of seafloor and logged over 16 hours of bottom time. The AUVs spent a total of 32 hours 59 minutes in the water, which included autonomous water column exploration. Twelve CTD rosette casts were completed, most simultaneous with AUV operations. Using the Niskin bottles on the CTD rosette, 120 water samples were collected for post-cruise eDNA analysis. Exploration mapping operations included acoustic data collection using the EM 304 MKII multibeam echosounder, Simrad EK60/80 split-beam echosounders, Knudsen sub-bottom profiler and Acoustic Doppler Profilers. 8,703 square kilometers of largely unmapped seafloor were mapped using the EM 304 with 8,519 square kilometers being within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and Territorial Sea deeper than 200 m. All operations and data collected were in U.S. waters.

EK80 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DY2003

The Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering (MACE) program of NOAA Fisheries, Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) conducted acoustic-trawl (AT) stock assessment surveys in the Shelikof Strait area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) in the late winter/early spring of 2020 to estimate distribution and abundance of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus). This survey was conducted aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson, a 64 meter research stern trawler equipped with acoustic and oceanographic instrumentation. The primary water column acoustic instrument for the survey was a Simrad EK80 split-beam scientific echosounder system utilizing six frequencies (18, 38, 70, 120, 200, and 333 kHz). The vessel departed Kodiak, Alaska on 2 March and the Shelikof Strait survey 6-15 March. A calibration of the EK80 echosounder was conducted at the start of the winter 2020 field season on 12 Febrauary in Uganik Bay, Kodiak Island, Alaska and a follow-up post-cruise calibration was conducted in Kalsin Bay, Kodiak Island, Alaska on 16 March.

ES60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During GOA11SS

Scientists of the Groundfish Assessment Program of Alaska Fisheries Science Center's Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division conducted the seventh biennial groundfish assessment survey of the Gulf of Alaska during the summer of 2011. These surveys extend the series of surveys, previously conducted every 3 years between 1984 and 1999, which constitute the time series used in stock assessments of Gulf of Alaska groundfish resources. The survey area covered the continental shelf and upper continental slope to 700 m in the Gulf of Alaska from Islands of Four Mountains (170Â° W long.) and continued eastward approximately 2,800 km across the Gulf of Alaska to Dixon Entrance (133Â° 25' W long.). The survey was conducted aboard two chartered commercial trawlers, the FV Ocean Explorer and the FV Sea Storm. Trawl haul samples were successfully collected at 670 survey stations using standard RACE Division Poly Nor'Eastern high-opening bottom trawl nets with rubber bobbin roller gear.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During EX2107

The Windows to the Deep 2021: Southeast U.S. ROV and Mapping expedition (EX-21-07) was a combined mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) expedition to the Blake Plateau and Florida Straits that took place between October 26 and November 15, 2021. Operations during this 21-days at sea expedition included a combination of ROV dives in support of NOAA Ocean Exploration and its partner priorities. The primary focus of this expedition was the Blake Plateau, including its escarpment, off the coast of the Southeast U.S., but three dives were also conducted in the western and central Florida Straits due to weather conditions. Overall, 14 dives were completed, including two explorations of the water column, several dives to mound and ridgelike structures likely to be bioherms, two deeper dives to explore the steep Blake Escarpment, and one dive to document a lone sinkhole in the southeast region of the Blake Plateau. ROV dives were conducted from 300 m to 3650 meters water depth for a total of 47 hours of bottom time, and 15,800 square km were mapped using EM 304 multibeam sonar.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During EX2106

From September 5 - September 28, 2021, NOAA Ocean Exploration conducted mapping operations on the Blake Plateau within U.S. waters, aiding in closing the gaps within this region. The second of two cruises focused on mapping this region, EX-21-06 collected 25,800 square kilometers of bathymetry and associated water column data, 25,790 square kilometers of which were within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and Territorial Sea deeper than 200 m. The exploratory mapping operations conducted during this cruise will provide initial characterization of the region, as well as data to support further exploration with remotely operated vehicles planned for EX-21-07.

EK80 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DAFT4-C11-201801 Deployment

A bottom moored echosounder was deployed at 47.15 m depth in the NE Chukchi Sea (70.0130N, 166.856233W) from 12 August 2018 to 26 August 2019. The mooring was instrumented with a battery powered EK80 wideband autonomous transceiver (WBAT, Simrad AS). The echosounder operated an upwards facing depth-rated 70 kHz 18Â° split-beam transducer (ES70-18CD), positioned upward with a two-axis gimbal equipped with a 0.7 kg counterweight. The echosounder also operated a combined 38 kHz 18Â° split-beam and 200 kHz 18Â° single-beam (ES38-18/200-18C) mounted at a fixed position. Both transducer faces were positioned at a height of 0.8 m above the seafloor. During the deployment, the WBAT was programmed to transmit an ensemble of 300 narrowband (200 pings at 70 kHz, 100 pings at 38 and 200 kHz) and 50 wideband (25 pings at 70 kHz, 25 pings at 38 and 200 kHz) every two hours. Data were recorded to a range of 60 m. This instrument failed after recovery and was unable to be calibrated, thus the mean values from the calibration of five other deployments were averaged.  In addition, the 38 kHz channel failed during deployment, identified by issues the transmit power and impedence on the 38 kHz channel 2 in the raw files. Calibrations had occured in Seattle, Washington either prior to deployment or after recovery using a 38.1-mm tungsten carbide sphere following the standard sphere method (Demer et al., 2015).

Ecosystem Monitoring. The Ecosystem Monitoring (aka Ecomon) survery uses bongo and CTD sampling to monitor and map the distribution of zooplankton, krill and smaller organisms) and the physical environment. The survey has been conducted four times per year (although fewer times in recent years) in each season on the continental shelf from Cape Hatteras, NC to the Canadian waters of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Acoustic data are occasionally collected. Marine mammal and bird observations have been collected in the past.
