| Purpose | |
| Abstract | The multibeam data was recorded with the EM120 system. The EM120 system was unstable about half of the recorded data. There were some softwear Problems with the EM120 followed by problems with the Hardwear. Hardware repair of the EM120 provided a better seafloor image, but still water depth values drifted away from true depth time by time. |
