Summary of Field Work: |
CTD and water sampler, Box corer, GPS, etc.
Comment: It is crucial for us to receive Shiptime in 2009 to fulfill the obligations of our NGOMEX grant. We had hoped for two 8 day cruises on the Pelican, but have some room for flexibility, at this time, both in cruise lengths and dates. If it is not possible to find time on the Pelican, we will be interested in getting time on another UNOLS or other vessels. Any guidance that you can give us will be appreciated. |
