Purpose
Abstract For shallow water depths the EM1002 was used for bathymetric mappin. EM1002 survey conducted during the cruise MSM 30 when the water depths were shallower than 400 m.The sound velocity profile was measured each time just before the EM 1002 was deployed from the moonpool. During cruise MSM30, sound velocity and temperature profiles were measured at nine locations whenever the water depths were changing noticeably.
