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: Collaborative Research: The Role of Canyons in Boundary Mixing and Exchange with the Ocean Interior Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: James B. Girton, UW_APL Project Institution: UW_APL
Project ID: 100982 Version #: 2
Date Submitted: 4/12/2007 7:06:00 PM Created By: James B. Girton
Date Last Modified: 7/18/2007 2:37:00 PM URI Serial #: 20070209192626EP
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/PO - 0728497 - Funded
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.

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.
