Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
12 science days are needed in order to carry out experiments to measure the impact on different imaging systems, physical and optical properties of the environments. The exercise requires clean and somewhat turbid oceanic waters with strong stratification in temperature and/or salinity in the surface layer (less than 100m). A frame roughly 2 by 2 by 16' and weighs less than 400lbs will be deployed, along with other packages which might include a Slocum glider, a vertical microstructure profiler, IOP (optical) packages, and multiple laser imaging systems. The stability of the vessel is an important factor. We will consider other regional vessels as backup, which will likely result in increased cost. Dr. Weidemann is willing to share the cost (up to $140k), by combining his field exercise related to optical thin layers (NRL JON 6289). |

for use in schedules: |
Bahamas |
| Description of Op Area: |
Clean/clear water area (beam c @green <0.4), with stratification in temperature and/or salinity structure. The depth of the operational area is not a deciding factor so long the above conditions are met. |
