| Repeating Cruise Comments: |
|
| Justification/Comments: |
We need a global class vessel to accomplish the various operations over abyssal depths, particularly the coring. Our timing choices reflect that we are trying to capture the maximum flood stage of the river, which occurs during May or June each year, and the maximum reach of the plume, which occurs in Sept-Oct each year. Our choice of putting the May-June cruise in 2010 and the Sept-Oct cruise in 2011 gives us more time to complete sample processing before the second cruise. Much less optimal, but possible, would be to do the May-June cruise in 2011 with the Sept-Oct cruise in 2010. |
