Cruise Report for USNS DESTEIGUER Operations in OUTPOST GUMBO.

Abstract

OUTPOST GUMBO was an underwater acoustic research operation at four sites in the northeastern Pacific conducted in August 1978. Participants included members from the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA), Defence Research Establishment (DREP), and the Naval Air Development Center (NADC). Platforms used were USNS DESTEIGUER, CFAV ENDEAVOUR, CFAV ST. ANTHONY, and two CFVP-407 ARGUS aircraft. Data were collected for acoustic bottom interaction, signal excess, and ambient noise, as well as environmental geologic and oceanographic data. Arrays were used as receivers: VEKA (NORDA), TSVLA (NADC), and MEVA (DREP). This report discusses operations, quantity and quality of collected data, and associated problems as related to NORDA's participation on board USNS DESTEIGURE. (Author)
