Purpose | |
Abstract | During cruise MSM11/2 the hull-mounted Kongsberg Simrad system EM120 was used for bathymetric mapping in medium to deep waters continuously in a 24 hour schedule. In general the system worked reliable, only minor data gaps occurred. Thanks to nice weather conditions during most of the cruise the data quality is quite good. |
