Name: DSS240

Sample Interval (msec): 2

Record Length (sec): 10

Details

Number of Channels: All field data files have 8 traces. It seems likely that the SCS traces are 1-4 and sonobuoys were recorded on one or more of traces 5-8

Distance from Antenna to Source = 95m

Distance from Antenna to Channel 1 = 150m

Distance from Antenna to Channel 2 = 165m

Distance from Antenna to Channel 3 = 190m

Distance from Antenna to Channel 4 = 240m

Cruise Report: Towing speed and streamer tow cable length were both adjusted to make source and receiver depths roughly equal in an attempt to improve the overall resolution and signal to noise ratio of the system.
