Summary of Field Work: |
Two cruises to the high latitude Pacific Ocean (Hawaii to Hawaii, Hawaii to San Diego) to measure the abundance and diversity of Prochlorococcus along meridional transects focusing on gradients in temperature. Collaborators will measure trace metals and other biological variables. Cruises will not enter foreign waters.
This project is a formal collaboration between Johnson (Duke), Erik Zinser (UTK), Steven Wilhelm (UTK) with additional collaborators at U Hawaii, U Otago and USC. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
For a successful project we require full use of the ships available facilities including: CTD, ADCP, flow through sea water (for on-deck incubators), compressed air, full complement of bunks available to scientists, radioisotope van (with hook-ups), uncontaminated seawater for in laboratory analyses, MET data, 'live' internet (as available) for public outreach. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We are requesting the R/V Kilo Moana (or higher GLOBAL class) because of its higher berth capacity (we expect a full ship with out collaborators) and proximity to the study site. It is imperative that the ship be able to work (i.e. deploy CTDs and other over the side equipment) during the timeframe proposed for the locations proposed. If the sea-state is likely to be too high for the R/V Kilo Moana, we request a higher class ship (e.g. R/V Roger Revelle). The number of science days includes the minimum transect time from Honolulu, HI and time to perform a 'Z' transect around the 15C surface temperature region. We also require some days to be on station along the transect. 28 days is the lowest number that allows us to accomplish this project's goals.
3.5 mobilization days are requested: 2 on the front end to set up equipment including on-deck incubators and 1.5 on the arrival end to unload equipment and samples. These requests are based on our past experience of the time it takes to set up our incubators and equipment on UNOLS ships. |
