ADEON Marine Mammal Observation Logs

The Marine Mammal Observation (MMO) database it is a record of marine mammals and turtles sighted during daylight hours at each ADEON lander location (link to map). On-station effort commenced approximately 5 nautical miles prior to arrival at the lander location when the ship slowed its speed to below 8 knots. MMO effort concluded at approximately 5 nautical miles from the lander location before the ship increased speed above 8 knots. Opportunistic sightings from night time hours occurred when animals were visible around the lighted decks. These sightings are included in the MMO but are not included in the on-effort daily calculations.

海洋哺乳动物观察（Marine Mammal Observation, MMO）数据库是一套记录各ADEON着陆器站点（附地图链接）日间目击海洋哺乳动物与海龟的数据集。现场观测作业启动于船只抵达着陆器站点前约5海里处，此时船舶需将航速降至8节以下；该观测作业于船舶提速至8节以上前，在距着陆器站点约5海里处结束。夜间偶发目击指海洋动物出现在船舶亮灯甲板周边时的观测记录，此类目击虽会被纳入MMO数据库，但不计入当日有效观测作业的统计范畴。
