The aim of JC133 is to deploy 34 Broad-band ocean-bottom seismiometers (BBOBS) across the Lesser Antilles. The instruments are being sourced from the German DEPAS facility and American OBSIP/Scripps facility. The instruments will remain on the seafloor for 15 months recording natural earthquakes before being recovered in May 2017. Underway gravity, magnetic and swath bathymetry will also be collected during the cruise.
