Summary of Field Work: |
As part of the ONR sponsored Internal Waves in Straits Experiment, a multi-investigator field study will be conducted to examined the internal wave generation region of the of the Luzon Passage. The study will involve three legs of a UNOLS global-class vessel; an initial mooring deployment and survey leg, and two other survey legs employing a variety of towed instruments. Each leg will be 30 days in duration. Kaohsiung Taiwan is the anticipated port for use in this study.
Leg 1 will involve Co-PIs ALford (Chief Scientist), Nash, St. Laurent and Simmons. Their work will include a spatial survey of the Luzon Passage using the ship's hydrographic instrument package and a Lowered Acoustic Doppler Profiler, operated in tandem with a microstructure profiler. Leg 2 will involve Co-PIs Pinkel (Chief Scientist) and Johnston. Their work will include the use of a towed fast-CTD, and a seasoar. Leg 3 will involve Lien (Chief Scientist) and some Taiwan Co-PIs. Their work will involve a towed CTD-chain. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The vessel must support 24 hour operations. Multibeam and seasoar capability is also required. A large winch, placed on the aft deck, will be used for the towed CTD-chain. |
