On-Line Data Resources:	Metadata	Samples	Photography	Time-series	Seismics	Publications

Area of Operations: Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic

Dates: November 8, 1984 to November 8, 1984

Chief scientist: Tom OBrien

Objectives: Shallow water, high-resolution reflection and refraction seismology utilizing an explosive sound source, 3-axis geophone and single hydrophone sensors, and a sonobuoy telemetry system. Additionally, a USGS ocean-bottom seismograph was deployed.

Type of Activity: Seismic profiling

Information to be derived: High-resolution reflection and refraction seismology

Summary: All equipment worked well. There seems to be an electronic coupling problem between the geophone system and the sonobuoy transmitters. This problem will be addressed this winter and the experiment will be attempted again in Spring of 1985.
