Repeating Cruise: No Dates To Avoid: There are two cruises requested, and ideally this cruise should be exactly one year after the previous cruise [now scheduled for May 2017]. It should also start early enough to provide ample time for sample processing and analysis before the end of the project in September 2019.
Number of Repeating Cruises: 0 Repeating Interval:
Repeating Cruise Comments: None
Justification/Comments: Alvin / Sentry is preferred. Alvin alone will not suffice, as we plan a number of near-seafloor surveys that would require Sentry. The alternative to this combination is the ROV Jason. If Jason, we do not have a preference for the support ship. Cordes currently has a conflict with a cruise that is scheduled for 9/20/17 - 10/22/17.

Instrumentation Requested: Dynamic Positioning
Multibeam
Other Operator Provided Inst. - Describe
Instrumentation Comments: The Wire Flyer is a ship-towed (at 3-4 knots) autonomous vehicle that slides up and down a standard 0.322 cable in a controlled manner (Roman and Hebert, 2011). Using the lift force created by wing foils, the vehicle can achieve controlled up and down profiling velocities (0- 2.25 m/sec) within a specified depth band down to ~900 m depth. The high repetition rate of the Wire Flyer provides a far more complete data set than would be possible with repeat ship board CTD casts. While being towed, updated commands and condensed data samples can be sent to and from the Wire Flyer via an acoustic modem to refine the sampling speed and depths to ensure proper coverage. The vehicle typically creates high horizontal resolution (T, S, O2, Chl, CDOM, turb) sections. For this project a Satlantic Deep SeaFET pH sensor will be integrated along with the SBE 49 FastCAT, Aanderaa 4831f O2 sensor and Wetlabs triple Ecopuck. These sensors will also be available to be used on the submersibles.
Ancil Facilities Requested: Sentry
Alvin
Jason
Ancil Facility Comments: We require either Alvin plus Sentry (preferred) or Jason.
