Geophysical equipment types used included: Deep Tow Boomer. The survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey. The BGS deep tow boomer system has been developed extensively from the Huntec deep tow boomer, primarily to extend its depth capability. The towfish is rated to 1000m, but with the current cable length maximum tow depth achieved was approximately 650m, giving a maximum water depth of operation of approximately 1500m, depending on prevailing conditions. Two 2m multi-element hydrophones are towed immediately behind the fish and in normal operation either is selscted, the second acting as back-up. The data is recorded digitally using the BGS DAMP16, PC based acquisition system recording to Exabyte tape in SEGY format. For more detailed information see the Cruise Report.
