Ship Time Request Overview

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

Project Description and Facility Requirements
Project Web Page:
Summary of Field Work: We will undertake trace metal clean water column sampling at the BATS site, using trace-metal CTD rosette and McLane pumps, for shipboard sample processing. We propose that this work will be undertaken together with five of the regular BATS program cruises, by adding one day to each of these cruises in order to accommodate our sampling work.
Summary of Facility Requirements: The number of investigators and equipment required would be suitable to combine with the BATS program cruises that are typically carried out on R/V Atlantic Explorer, Bermuda to Bermuda. We need to be able to deploy trace metal clean CTD-rosette and McLane pumps (5 depths), and to process samples in shipboard clean laboratory van.
Summary of other requirements or comments: We have discussed including our work in the BATS cruises (with one day added) with BATS PI Rod Johnson, who is a co-PI on this proposal.
