Ship Request

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 Title: Internal Waves in Straits Experiment Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Louis St. Laurent, WHOI Project Institution: WHOI
Project ID: 102278 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 1/11/2010 2:10:00 PM Created By: Louis St. Laurent
Date Last Modified: 11/7/2010 10:41:00 AM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NAVY/ONR/OAS - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: As part of the ONR sponsored Internal Waves in Straits Experiment, a multi-investigator field study will be conducted to examined the internal wave generation region of the of the Luzon Passage. The study will involve three legs of a UNOLS global-class vessel; an initial mooring deployment and survey leg, and two other survey legs employing a variety of towed instruments. Each leg will be 30 days in duration. Kaohsiung Taiwan is the anticipated port for use in this study.

Leg 1 will involve Co-PIs ALford (Chief Scientist), Nash, St. Laurent and Simmons. Their work will include a spatial survey of the Luzon Passage using the ship's hydrographic instrument package and a Lowered Acoustic Doppler Profiler, operated in tandem with a microstructure profiler. Leg 2 will involve Co-PIs Pinkel (Chief Scientist) and Johnston. Their work will include the use of a towed fast-CTD, and a seasoar. Leg 3 will involve Lien (Chief Scientist) and some Taiwan Co-PIs. Their work will involve a towed CTD-chain.
Summary of Facility Requirements: The vessel must support 24 hour operations. Multibeam and seasoar capability is also required. A large winch, placed on the aft deck, will be used for the towed CTD-chain.

Requested Ship, Operating Days and Dates
Year: 2011 Ship/Facility: Roger Revelle
Optimum Start Date: 5/22/2011 Dates to Avoid: Prior to April, the winter monsoon makes work in the Luzon Passage difficult. After Aug 1, Typhoon season becomes difficult.
 
 
Earliest Start Date: 4/15/2011 Multi-Ship Op: No
Latest Start Date: 6/15/2011 Other Ship(s): The Revelle HDSS sonar is desired for this project. In addition, 1 Co-PI (S. Johnston) was funded to use the Revelle's seasoar for this project.
