Sercel GI-Source 210 seismic air impulse sources are used. Use of the seismic system triggers additional technical resources in permitting, personnel (MNF support and Marine Mammal Observers supplied by the science party), time and logistics. Seismic acquisition operations can only be undertaken during daylight hours.
