Details
Cable Depth: 45-50 feet
Group Spacing: 50,100, 50,100,... meters For this cruise the streamer had the following spacing: 2 50m actives followed by a 50m dead section, so 48 channels over 3500m.

Antenna to Source (Kana Keoki)=74 meters
Source Volume (Kana Keoki)=1920 cu. in.
Source Pressure (Kana Keoki)=2000 psi
Source Depth (Kana Keoki)=UNKNOWN
Shot Control (Kana Keoki)=Time: Every minute on the half minute for Constant Offset COP lines. For these lines the Kana Keoki was in front of the Conrad. The distance between the two ships was measured by Miniranger and Raydist. Each COP line was shot twice using different ship separations: 3.6km and 16km. Airgun and Explosive ESPs (Expanding Spread Profiles) were also shot during this cruise.

Shot Control: Time
Shot Interval: For Conrad, every minute on the half minute for Constant Offset COP lines. At 20 second intervals for the single ship CDP lines 329-332. For Kana Keoki, every minute on the half minute for Constant Offset COP lines. For these lines the Kana Keoki was in front of the Conrad. The distance between the two ships was measured by Miniranger and Raydist. Each COP line was shot twice using two ship separations: 3.6 and 16 km. Airgun and Explosive ESPs (Expanding Spread Profiles) were also shot during this cruise.
