Summary of Field Work: |
Field work will involve participation in ocean time-series cruises at BATS and HOT as ancillary users, and our own transect cruises in the North Atlantic and North Pacific as primary users.
Work will be primarily CTD operations, but also perhaps some high volume pump/hydrowire work. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Will require an intermediate class vessel for cruises. We will require, a dedicated radiation van, as well as space for 1 or 2 other 20' research vans. Very clean underway seawater system will be required as well as high volume surface seawater flow for on deck incubators. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We will sample a transect from Bermuda (32N) to roughly ~50N, sampling every degree of latitude both coming and going. Based upon a cruising speed between stations of 9kts, and 4h/station for sampling, we estimate we need 28 days to complete this transect cruise. |

 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 |

St. George's, Bermuda |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
Based upon the length of the transect, we don't believe we will have to stop at an intermediate port to refuel. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
Cruise will require around the clock operations, over 28 days so two technicians are required to meet watch standing requirements. |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
We will be doing radioisotope work (phosphorus 33 and carbon 14 for sure, perhaps thymidine 3H as well). The AE has a new radiation van equipped with scintillation counter and is appropriate for our needs.
In addition, if this proposal is funded we will be purchasing a standard 20' UNOLS lab van for our flow cytometry facility. This van can go on the 02deck, bow.
