Abstract:

XBP is an expendable sea bed penetrometer that nay be launched from a moving ship. The deceleration of the probe is measured as it impacts the sea floor and the resulting signal is interpreted to obtain certain geoacoustic and geotechnical properties of the bottom. The system was developed by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and NATO, Saclant Undersea Research Center, LaSpezia, Italy. This Grant covers the cost of supplying the Naval Oceanographic Office, Stennis Space Center, with eight 8 XBP systems.
