Summary for Field Activity Number 82017

Alternate Leg ID: WHALER-1

Area of Operations: Connecticut River between Southampton and North Hadley, Massachusetts, United States, North America

Dates: June 16, 1982 to June 17, 1982

Type of Activity:

Information to be derived:

Summary: The data quality were good to excellent over about 75 percent of the track run. Data from the other 25 percent of the track were poor with limited or no penetration of the subbottom. This lack of penetration of the bottom by the acoustic energy is attributed to biogenic gas bubbles in the near surface sediments. All of the data from this survey were retained by the personnel from the Water Resources Division.
