Admittedly, a title more than action being done. It was a "ride-along" for me and other NOAA interns. Yes, charting bathymetry for navigation charts. The boat and crew also perform other research related work.Actually charting the depth? What is that amidship?
We were heading out of port at this point, and spent the day running new benchmarks by running straight lines at set engine RPMs. If you re familiar with the area, we were going between the Solomon's Island Bridge (MD Rt 4) and the Patuxent NAS. The equipment is the multi-scan sonar unit. The side-scan sonar is at the stern, behind me.
