Summary of Field Work: |
Investigation of lateral mixing in the upper ocean in regions of strong lateral density contrasts (fronts). We plan to target a period of strong atmospheric forcing (thus late winter or early spring) and progress toward increasingly complex environments. This will be a two-ship operation. One vessel will deploy acoustically-tracked Lagrangian floats and then survey around the drifting float using a towed profiler. The second ship will execute larger-scale surveys around the float drift. One of the two ships (likely the float-following vessel) will release dye. Each evolution will last 1-5 days, with multiple evolutions undertaken during the cruise. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We request two ships for a 21-day period, February-April 2012. Ideally this would be two global class vessels to allow continuous operations in the heavy weather we anticipate at this time of year. GPS, Shipboard ADCP, CTD winch and wire are required on both ships. Internet connectivity and ship to ship communication are also important. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Ships must operate concurrently- thus both must be scheduled together. |
