licenses, etc.). there are some new systems on board, so we will be
learning how to optimize these as we go along.
the old chirp was a knudsen 320B, but now we have a 3206 chirp. the
software in quite improved, so it is a little different that before.
there are also some additions to the multibeam system (for sonar
mapping of the seafloor topography, etc.).
chris romsos is the chief scientist and he is well prepared to lead us
on our journey. it looks like that after we go through the strait of
juan de fuca, we will head north to get some bathymetry etc. on the
outer shelf/upper slope offshore vancouver island. following that, we
will head south to collect vast amounts of data offshore washington,
where there is scant existing bathymetry.
ill try to get another map up to show everyone where we are... ill
post lat longs, etc. as we go. cheers, jay
