Summary of Field Work: |
This cruise will investigate internal waves and intermediate nepheloid layers in Monterey Canyon, using a combination of expendable current profilers (XCP), a loosely-tethered microstructure profiler, lowered ADCP, CTD and transmissometer profiles, and a near-bottom mooring. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The preferred timing is to begin 4 days before a "spring tide" maximum in semidiurnal tidal currents, but since the duration of the cruise will span a full spring-neap cycle the timing is somewhat flexible. Late summer is desirable for calm working conditions for profiling and mooring deployment/recovery. Part of the time (6 days) will involve joint operations with the R/V John Martin so scheduling will need to be coordinated between the two vessels. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Optimum date: 8/6/2008-8/21/2008 / Alternate date: 9/4/2008-9/19/2008
scheduling will depend on the spring-neap cycle of the tides and two-ship operations on several days will need to be coordinated with the John Martin. |
