| Justification/Comments: |
a global class vessel will be needed for the NAAMES cruises. NAAMES will involve ~32 scientists on-board during each cruise. we require placement of up to 4 aerosol vans on the forward deck. movement of these vans to an aft deck is not feasible because it will compromise the integrety of the mission. we wish the port to be woods hole, which is the home port for the atlantis. there will be 4 cruises total for NAAMES and it would be beneficial to use the same ship each time so everyone is familiar with the set up. Each of the 4 NAAMES cruises targeted a specific event in the annual plankton cycle. capturing these events with measurements is a primary driver of the requested scheduling. |
