Subbottom profiler deployment on Cape Cod Bay, 2019
Subbottom profiler deployment on Cape Cod Bay, 2019Before deploying the subbottom profiler for leg 2 of the seafloor mapping cruise, Wayne Baldwin, Alex Nichols, and Chuck Worley made sure the floats were sufficiently inflated. In the relatively shallow waters of Cape Cod Bay, they want the instrument towed at water's surface for the resolution of the sub seafloor geology.

Sound velocity casts on Cape Cod Bay
Sometimes the fog can be as thick as pea soup! The captains use radar and keen eyesight to navigate in such conditions. Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center staff, Alex Nichols and Wayne Baldwin, take a sound velocity cast off the back of the boat.
