Abstract:

A summary of the ship-board activities of a side scan sonar and swath bathymetry (TOBI) and magnetics survey around the Azores I. (AZ99, july 1999) is presented. The survey used R/V Urania of CNR for 35 days, inclusive of transits from and to Civitavecchia. Along with a description of technical details of the equipment employed, we discuss problems regarding data acquisition and quality.
