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.

Funding Agencies: NAVY/ONR - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work:  
Summary of Facility Requirements: The request covers 2010 shiptime needs for a block of 94 days that will include ITOP cold wake sampling, ITOP ASIS/AESI mooring service and IWISE pilot activities. Timing of individual components will be fluid, as the time block will be used to conduct opportunistic sampling of typhoon cold wakes, with other activities woven into the periods between target typhoon events. Request a global class vessel due to extensive mooring operations and the need to conduct science in less than ideal conditions through the typhoon season.

Grant numbers and funded totals have been left blank, as I do not currently possess this information for all funded components of this ONR-DRI. We will refine this as we break out the individual requests.

No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: 1 July-31 September
We request access to a global class vessel during the 3 peak months of typhoon season in ordered to conduct rapid-response cruises to sample typhoon wakes.
The ship will be shared between 3 distinct tasks (listed in priority order):
(1) ITOP Rapid-response cold wake surveys (42 days)
(2) ITOP ASIS/EASI mid-deployment service (12 days)
(3) IWISE pilot program (40 days)
The vessel will conduct IWISE pilot studies and ASIS/EASI service while remaining on-call for rapid-response cold wake surveys. When/If appropriate typhoons materialize, the ship will return to port to debark the IWISE (or ASIS/EASI) science party and embark the cold wake team. Prefer Kaohsiung for loadout, with a wide range of ports possible for science party hand-offs.

Points of contact are:
(1) ITOP cold wake (Craig Lee)
(2) ITOP ASIS/EASI (Hans Graber)
(3) IWISE pilot (Matthew Alford)
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
We request one UNOLS global vessel and prefer R/V Revelle because:
(1) Presence of the high-quality, deep-penetrating HDSS (Velocity measurements will be important to the science)
(2) Overboarding gear (A-frame and cranes) can handle the large, awkward 15,000+ lb NOMAD buoys used in the ASIS/EASI system.
(3) Large deck load during mooring operations demands one of the new AGORs. We'll need to simultaneously accommodate 2 NOMAD buoys, 5 ATLAS toroids, the associated mooring gear (many glass balls, vans, etc) along with a few dozen drifters. The NOMADs will require a great deal of deck space.
(4) We plan to conduct towed profiling operations in rough sea states (tail ends of typhoons), and thus need a ship that can navigate and support towed profiling operations in these demanding conditions.

Requirements and list description
and provider for "other" systems.
Will need a UNOLS towed profiling vehicle. Prefer Moss Landing Triaxus due to ease of recovery and deployment (we will be switching modes between towed profiling and vertical microstructure profiling frequently). This might also allow transfer of some technologies from my own Triaxus to the pooled vehicle. A SeaSoar would be our second choice.
