Summary of Field Work: |
We will use our depth-cycling towed body SWIMS and microstructure profilers (AMP & MMP) to study internal tides and mixing in Monterey Canyon. Observations will also be made with a bottom-mounted 300 kHz ADCP, 3 McLane Moored Profilers and 4 Long Ranger 75 kHz ADCPs. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We need to install a 150 kHz ADCP and a Biosonics 120 kHz transducer in the ship's transducer wells. Also, on the fantail we will install a Dynacon winch for our SWIMS towbody and MMP winch for the profilers. All 8 moorings put in earlier will be recovered at the end of the cruise. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
The moorings for this project are to be put in 2 months prior to the end date of the this cruise on a separate 4-day cruise. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
An intermediate or larger ship is needed to provide sufficient deck space for 8 moorings. It is also desirable from a weather standpoint since the moorings will be deployed in late February to early March. The Wecoma meets these requirements. An alternate ship is the Revelle. |
