Summary of Field Work: |
This will be a trace element intercalibration cruise requiring ultra clean conditions. The science party will bring 4 vans (20x8x8), including a container-housed Markey winch with 8000 m of Kevlar with conductor, 24 12L bottle clean rosette, and composite meter wheel. This clean rosette will be deployed off one of the ship's J frames (mid-ship); we will also use the ship's standard ctd/rosette system, as well as one ship's winch to spool 6000 m of 1/4" kevlar (and routed to a J frame) for manually deployed 30 L bottle sampling. There will also be underway pumping system (deployed off the quarter using the ship's crane). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
This will be a very complex operation, but similar work has been done on both ships in the past (Knorr, 1996; Melville, 2002). The clean rosette winch will be mounted inside a 20x8x8 open container (frame) and will be designed to go on the 01 or main decks and its Kevlar cable routed to the starboard J frame; it will have its own operator/control room. As part of the intercalibration, we will also have to spool 6000 m of 1/4" Kevlar onto one of the winches on the 01 deck and lead it to a composite meter wheel on a starboard J frame (or extendable boom) for manually deploying 30L GO-Flo bottles; this has been done on both ship's in 1996 and 2002. The other 3 science vans will be for clean sample processing and analyses; 2 of these will have to be on the main deck near the rosette operations. In one of the hangars we will construct a clean area to house two 500L polyethylene tanks and associated pumps for homogenizing water samples. |
