During EX1202 Leg III between April 11 and April 29, 2012 on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer (EX), 24-hour operations occured in targeted areas in the Northern Gulf of Mexico and the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Operations included daytime ROV dives at depths less than 4000m and nightly multibeam surveys with periodic XBT casts for calibration. Night operations will also include occasional CTD casts.
To identify and explore the diversity of benthic habitats in the region, to locate and characterize submerged cultural resources and assess their eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places, to expand tests of acoustic methods to detect gas seeps and measure flux, and to improve capabilities to explore the water column.
