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.

Requested Ship, Operating Days and Dates
Year: 2013 Ship/Facility: Global
Optimum Start Date: 1/1/2013 Dates to Avoid: Strongly prefer to run P2 at a time of year to avoid cyclones/hurricanes and heavier seas. Prefer not to run into the wind.
 
 
Earliest Start Date: 1/1/2013 Multi-Ship Op: No

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements:
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
This is approximately a repeat of WHP line P2. R/V Roger Revelle is ideal.
62 science days include transit to and from Intermediate Port (nominally Honolulu) and 3 days in the intermediate port to break the cruise into two legs. Some of the science team will be exchanged during the intermediate port stop, but little of the scientific equipment will be onloaded or offloaded there.

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? Yes Coastal States:

Japan
 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances  

Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
No If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office? No
 Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.)

None None None
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops
Intermediate Port Call of 3 days requested. Cruise can start in Yokohama, stop in Hawaii, then end in San Diego, or be run in the reverse direction. In 2002, we ran this cruise Yokohama-Honolulu-San Diego and it worked well. (I am not able to get your "select port" feature to work, sorry.)

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements This is a standard cruise for what UNOLS calls the CLIVAR or Repeat Hydrography program. We bring most of our own techs, but will need the ship-supplied resident tech and electronics/computer tech. Woody Sutherland will be requesting 8 additional SIO/STS techs, as usual, for the CTDO, rosette, salinity, oxygen, nutrient, and data tasks.

Requirements and list description
and provider for "other" systems.
We will use the ship's underway meteorology sensor (and related) system, the ship's uncontaminated underway seawater system (and T, S, and other sensors on that system), and other routine underway systems. We will use the multi-beam sonar in a "view" mode (no extra processing or processors at sea) to visualize the bottom between stations. We need centerline depth to bottom at least every few minutes underway. (The usual "CLIVAR/CO2" set-up.)
