Summary of Field Work: |
Observational program examining dynamics forcing benthic exchange events on the Monterey shelf. Involves a combination of fixed platforms (moorings and benthic tripods) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Need a large enough ship for mooring deployment (a profiling mooring that will extend through at least 80-m water depth) and for deployment of a benthic tripod. Need an A frame, ability to deploy heavy anchors, and significant deck space. We would like the R/V Point Sur. |

Optimum Start Date:

4/15/2011 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Avoid Jan to early March. We want to stay out of huge storms, but want to get into the spring upwelling.
We need to deploy tripd and mooring on the first cruise. Need to pick it up on the 2nd. about 1 month later |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
We are planning for two field projects, each approximately one month long, in spring 2011 and late summer/early fall 2011. We need one ship day at the beginning of the field project for tripod and mooring deployment, and one ship day at the end (one month later) for equipment retrieval. Each cruise will be to the same location.
The schedule we envision for 2011 is as follows:
April 2011: deploy mooring and tripod.
~ one month later - retrieve instruments
October 2011: deploy mooring and tripod
~ one month later: retrieve instruments
This are 4 ship days total for 2011 (and two for 2010). Each cruise is only 1 day in duration, but we would like some buffer for weather or equipment problems. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
R/V Point Sur requested because work is on Monterey shelf, and PIs are from MLML, NPS, and MBARI. |
