我们使用自主底栖探测器（ABE）在2600米深的大洋中脊上创建了一个活跃的扩张中心的地图。我们利用ABE的精确导航和海底跟踪能力，用扫描声纳制作了详细的测深图，用ABE的视频快照系统制作了照片镶嵌图，并测量了水的温度和光学后向散射。ABE在使用从飞行器收集的返回数据的基础上对应答器定位进行了改进，这有助于结果的一致性。
We used the Autonomous Benthic Explorer (ABE) to create maps of an active spreading center on the mid-ocean ridge at a depth of 2600 meters. We took advantage of ABEs precise navigation and bottom following capabilities and produced detailed bathymetric maps with a scanning sonar, and photo-mosaics using ABE's video snapshot system, and measured the temperature and optical backscatter of the water. Refinement of ABE's transponder fixes, based on using returns gathered at the vehicle, contributed to the consistency of the results.
