Purpose
Abstract The main objective of SO186-1 was to contribute substantially to the implementation of the German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System. During the 1-C the buoys and the bottom stations were deployed. It was further planned to service some of the ocean seismological stations in the network deployed around Simulue Island. The EM120 was continuously in operation until the recovery operation of OBS. During the whole survey programme a constant speed of 10 knots was maintained to achieve sufficient bottom coverage along-track and to get data of better quality. The total survey length sums up to 2,546 nautical miles, yielding an estimated areal coverage of about 45,000 km2.
