4/1/2010 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Dates to avoid are any start time after April 10, 2010. Foreign colleagues will be unavailable and this will be too close to the next scheduled cruise. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Seward Johnson or large vessel required as volume of mooring equipment cannot be supported by smaller vessels (i.e. Endeavor/Oceanus class are too small). Also Seward Johnson is capable of doing 50-60 full-ocean-depth CTD casts (i.e. to 6000 m) and it has a climate-controlled van for salinity/Autosal processing.
Latest start date limitation is due to conflict with later cruise for one participant group. |

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.) |

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
Fort Pierce, FL, USA |
None |
Fort Pierce, FL, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested ports and dates of intermediate stops or to list additional port stops |
Fort Pierce, home port for the Seward Johnson, is quite close to the working area. If different ship is used, any port near Florida east coast would be acceptable - Miami would be preferred. |

|
Explain Instrumentation or Capability requirements that could affect choice of ship in scheduling. |
No science party vans planned, however if Seward Johnson is the vessel provided, we would want them to bring their climate-controlled van with Autosals for salinity processing.
