Résumé du livre
"The NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson (TJ) was redirected from standard operations in response to the Deep Water Horizon oil spill. The response efforts included shallow water reconnaissance and deep water investigation for submerged oil. This report documents the initial results from the third leg of response work. Thomas Jefferson is operated by NOAA as a hydrographic survey ship. She is home ported in Norfolk, VA, and carries a complement of 36 crew and scientists. Most of the scientific staff is permanently assigned to the ship. For this project, several experts were invited to join the ship to provide critical support to this inter-disciplinary mission. In addition, the ship enhanced its capabilities by adding additional sonars, a water sampling and deep cast system, and adding an additional sensor to the Moving Vessel Profiler"--Background.
