Gulf of Maine offshore survey 2024 bathymetry data

This project is a bathymetric survey of offshore waters in the Gulf of Maine in and adjacent to offshore wind development areas. The purpose of this project is to map the Maine Research Array offshore wind lease area, the 9-mile research strata surrounding the Research Array lease area, and potential cable routes to shore. A secondary goal is to fill bathymetric data gaps between shore and U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Wind Energy Areas by linking existing surveys with newly mapped areas. This survey produces bathymetry at 4m and backscatter at 2m resolution or better.

本项目针对缅因湾（Gulf of Maine）海上风电开发区域及其毗邻海域开展水深测量作业。本项目的核心目标为测绘缅因研究阵列海上风电租赁区块、环绕该租赁区块的9英里研究海域范围，以及通往岸线的潜在电缆敷设路由。次要目标为通过衔接现有测量作业与新测绘海域，填补岸线至美国海洋能源管理局（U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management）海上风能开发区之间的水深数据空白。本次测量可生成分辨率不低于4米的水深数据，以及分辨率不低于2米的反向散射数据。
