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.

  Project Information  
Project Title: Collaborative research: Air/sea gas exchange studies of CO2, DMS, and acetone by eddy correlation Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Scott Miller, SUNY-Albany Project Institution: SUNY-Albany
Project ID: 101600 Version #: 3
Date Submitted: 8/15/2008 5:59:00 PM Created By: Eric S. Saltzman
Date Last Modified: 7/29/2009 12:58:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/AGS - 0851407 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Cruises deferred to 2010 and 2011 [jmp]

The project will involve two shipboard deployments. One in 2010 in the tropical Pacific and one 2011 in summertime North Atlantic. Measurements to be made largely underway, with brief periods of station work during each cruise.
Summary of Facility Requirements: UNOLS laboratory van required, to be mounted on main or upper deck.
Meteorological gear to be mounted on foremast.
Scientific seawater
CTD/hydrocast - shallow only (10-20 m)
Summary of other requirements and comments: These cruises could be transit cruises with some additional days for near surface profiles. There is flexibility in the cruise tracks. They are designed to transect high PCO2 waters in the tropics (2010), and high productivity, high latitude low CO2 waters (2011). Relative wind directions are a strong consideration, and should be maintained +/- 60 degrees from the bow for most of the time.
