Legacy Science Data

Permanent URI for this collection

The Legacy Data Collection consists of scientific data collected on WHOI and non-WHOI vessels from 1936 to 2004. The collection contains many different types of data, including echo sounding records, seismic profile data, acoustic profiles, navigation logs, bathymetry data, and magnetometer data.

    R/V Star Hercules Cruise: Trident Jason project data log 2
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1989) Gegg, Stephen
    The following lists actual and relative positions for 2 critical pieces in the AMPHORA Site- the WRECK and the BROKEN AMPHORA. First, some comments. All LAT/LON positional data are referenced to GPS. The actual positions from the STARELLA 88 data are reliable. The actual position (only located the broken AMPHORA on that trip) from the KNORR 88 data is not reliable for reasons which are detailed in a separate note to Tom Crook. In which case, the relative positions are important.

    R/V Knorr Voyage 134-15 D. P. Fiber Optic test
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1988-08) Yoerger, Dana R.
    The goals of this cruise are to test the dynamic positioning system, including all sensors and interfaces. We hope to gather data under a variety of sea conditions and quantify performance. The following control configurations will be tested: 1. Automatic heading. 2. Open-loop position keeping with wind compensation . 3. Automatic track following : ARGONAV , forward cycloid only. 4. Automatic position control: ARGONAV, both cycloids. 5. Automatic track following: ARGONAV, both cyc l oi ds. 6. Automatic position control : GPS. 7. Automatic track following: GPS.

    AMPHORA Site Important Positions - Memorandum
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1989-04-14) Gegg, Stephen
    The following lists actual and relative positions for 2 critical pieces in the AMPHORA Site - the WRECK and the BROKEN AMPHORA. First some comments. All LAT/LON positional data are referenced to GPS. The actual positions froM the STARELLA 88 data are reliable. The actual position (only located the broken AMPHORA on that trip) from the KNORR 88 data is not reliable for reasons which are detailed in a separate note to Tom Crook. In which case, the relative positions are important. From the relative positions of the 2 wreck locations, one can safely say that there is only one wreck in that area. The broken AMPHORA is the only tie between the two coordinate systems. This is assuming that there is only one, unique broken amphora. Uchupi believes this is the case. However, the possibility that there is more than one has not been completely ruled out. Considering the proximity of the wreck to the broken amphora based on the STARELLA 88 data, it seems implausible that you would have Missed the wreck completely once you found the broken amphora. This is what preserves the possibility of more than one, at least for the Moment. More careful and detailed examination of the KNORR 88 data tracks should indicate if you indeed went through an area located relative to the broken amphora where the wreck should have been. I haven't had time to examine the data myself yet.
