1999 Equipment Statistics
Ships
R/V Caleta
Pre-experiment plans:
Cover a 20 km transect 3 times per day, 4 days per week
for 3.5 weeks.
Projected total:
14 missions for a total distance of 840 km.
Actual total (based on data delivered):
17 missions for a total distance of 1111 km.
AUVs
REMUS
Pre-experiment plans:
Run two 40 km missions per day till the lithium batteries
run out (a total of 20 missions, or 800 km).
On the remaining 4 survey days, again run 2 missions per day,
but each mission is now only 20 km (a total of 8 missions,
or 160 km).
Actual total (based on data delivered):
8 missions for a total distance of 377 km.
Turbulenc REMUS
Actual total (based on data delivered):
11 missions acquiring 400 megapoints of good data. Approximately
40 kilometers were covered.
