Installed Scientific Equipment Deep Water Multibeam Sonar System The SeaBeam 210 bathymetric mapping system is capable of acoustically charting the seafloor to full ocean depths (11 km). A near real-time contour plot of the current swath is produced. The digital data are recorded for post processing on the shipboard Silicon Graphics UNIX workstations. ADCP RD Instruments VM-150 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures profiles of water velocity relative to the ship with 8M vertical resolution from 180-450 meters. CTD System The Shipboard Tech Assistance Group (STAG) maintains a SeaBird CTD system that may be available for use on the KOK with advance scheduling. The KOK routinely carries a .322 winch consisting of ~8km, 3 conductor cable that is used with the CTD system or other small science packages. SeaBird 9/11+ CTD, with SBE Temp, Cond, Oxygen 24 Place Rosette with 10Liter Bottles Uncontaminated Sea Water An uncontaminated seawater system is installed, with a thermosalinograph and a bench top fluorometer.
