Repeating Cruise: Yes Dates To Avoid: Mooring servicing in spring and fall, timed for weather and biofouling cycle
Number of Repeating Cruises: 16 Repeating Interval: every 6 months
Repeating Cruise Comments: Recover, redeploy, refresh power systems and sensors every 6 months.
Justification/Comments: Spring and fall cruises to meet requirement to refresh power and sensors every 6 months, deal with biofouling.
Deck payload when deploying and servicing moorings requires large UNOLS vessel, such as Knorr.
