Summary of Field Work: |
Annually service (deploy or turnaround or recover) subsurface moorings on the Alaskan Beaufort shelf at 152W, and do a hydrographic survey of the boundary current. There is also ancillary mooring work that we do for other programs (including international PIs). |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Icebreaker capable of mooring/CTD work. |

Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules: |
|
| Description of Op Area: |
The mooring work occurs in the vicinity of Barrow Canyon and the continental shelf/slope of the Alaskan Beaufort Sea as far east as 152W. The CTD work area extends from the northeast Chukchi Sea to the Canadian Beaufort Sea as far east as 135W. |
| Op Area Size/Dia.: |

 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 |
| Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?
|
Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.) |

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
|
Barrow, AK, USA |
None |
Barrow, AK, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
It is my understanding that one of the ports needs to be Dutch Harbor, AK. This is the reason for the 4 transit days. If we can embark and disembark in Barrow, then the transit days are not needed. However, if both the start and end ports need to be Dutch Harbor, then 8 transit days will be necessary. |
