Preliminary report on bathymetry measurements

The SEWARD JOHNSON Chirp II model LSP 661 by Datasonics was used on this cruise both for recording depths and for use with the pinger on the CTD/rosette. Depths were recorded every 2 minutes, entered on the SEWARD JOHNSON SJserver computer and merged with navigation acquired from the ship's Magnavox MX GPS system via RS-232, logged at 2 minute intervals. The merged navigation and bathymetry file provides a time series of underway potition, course, speed and bathymetry data. These data were used for all station positions, PDR depths, and for bathymetry on vertical sections.
