Summary of Field Work: |
Deployment of Sound source moorings at three locations in the north- central and eastern Gulf of Mexico, as well as the first round of deep-water RAFOS drifter deployments |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Dockside support (forklift, etc.), receiving and temporary storage of equipment/supplies for cruise |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Very improtant that PDR system on vessel is operational and can be used to do bathymetric surveys in water depths of up to 3500 meters depth. Important that ship's technician can tune in PDR system for reliable ocean depth readings. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The R/V Pelican is specifically requested due to the location of the vessel's homeport relative to the deployment sites, plus familiarity in deployment of long, in-line oceanographic moorings |
