Summary of Field Work: |
This ship request is to continue two-ship work with the CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent in the Arctic Ocean in support of delimiting the extended continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles. The field program will be similar to that planned in September 2008, in which Healy and Louis work in tandem, with Healy acquiring multibeam, subbottom, and gravity data and the Louis acquiring multichannel seismic reflection and sonobuoy refraction data. In some places, Healy will be the lead vessel, finding or creating a navigable track for Louis to collect seismic data. In other places, Healy may be the following vessel while Louis finds or creates a navigable track so that the multibeam data are of higher quality. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
All equipment should already be part of Healy science facility (multibeam bathymetry, subbottom profiling, gravity and supporting water column velocity information). |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Part of the collaboration between the U.S. and Canada is sharing coincident data collected during two-ship operations. Because Louis has single beam echo sounding, their interest in the collaboration is access to multibeam bathymetric information along the seismic tracks they are surveying. This collaboration is likely not attractive if the U.S. vessel in the cooperative effort does not have the capacity to acquire multibeam bathymetric data. |

Other Ship(s): |
Ship schedule needs to be coordinated with ship time arranged for CCGS Louis S. St. Laurent (as is being done for the 2008 field program). The Louis schedule is usually for 42 days, so there is some flexibility in scheduling Healy within the Louis window. |
