Ship Request

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

  Project Information  
Project Title: The Role of Regenerated Nitrogen for Rocky Shore Productivity Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Catherine Pfister, UChicago Project Institution: UChicago
Project ID: 102832 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 2/9/2011 3:14:00 PM Created By: Catherine Pfister
Date Last Modified: 2/9/2011 3:14:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/EDU - 0928232 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: We propose to sample water offshore from 4 shore-based stations to better understand the role of upwelled versus regenerated nitrogen to coastal productivity. We will collect water and plankton for stable isotopes of nitrogen, water nutrients, and basic environmental parameters such as salinity, temperature, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and pH. The 4 stations where we will census are those ~ 1 km offshore of Tatoosh Island, Second Beach (Neah Bay), Siip Point (Clallam Bay), Observatory Pt (Freshwater Bay) at depths of ~65 m - 100 m. We will sample from multiple depths up to 100m to understand the relationship between seawater properties at the shore and seawater offshore (1-2km). By comparing on-the-shore and offshore samples, we can estimate a local animal effect on nitrogen dynamics. We anticipate at least 1 full day of ship time at these sites with 2 days of travel time. We propose sampling once in Jun, Jul and Aug, for a total of 9 ship days.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We request the R/V Clifford Barnes, its crew and a CTD technician. On the R/V Barnes, we propose to use the CTD array (both the 6 and 12 bottle units).

Requested Ship, Operating Days and Dates
Year: 2011 Ship/Facility: Clifford A Barnes
Optimum Start Date: 6/21/2011 Dates to Avoid: We request 3 dates of 3 days each:
1. A 3 day window between 21-27 Jun 2011
2. A 3 day window of 10-12 jul or 20-27 Jul 2011
3. A 3 day window between 16-25 Aug 2011

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 1 month # of Cruises: 3

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: The same sampling will be done in each month (Jun, Jul, Aug)
We thus request 3 dates of 3 days each:
1. A 3 day window between 21-27 Jun 2011
2. A 3 day window of 10-12 jul or 20-27 Jul 2011
3. A 3 day window between 16-25 Aug 2011
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
The R/V Barnes is requested because we need do not need a large ship, rather one that can work relatively close to shore (1-2 km) and that is based near our project area. We anticipate a modest scientific crew of 4-5.

We propose 3 monthly sampling dates to capture variation in upwelling and local conditions. Although there is flexibility in the 3 days chosen, , we have some constraints in the dates due to low-tide shore-based work. We anticipate being able to sample all 4 stations in 1 day by doing some of the filtering work while underway to each station, a scheme that worked successfully in 2010.

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? No Coastal States:
 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?

Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops
Because the scientific crew will be based on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, boarding the R/V Barnes at Neah Bay will be efficient and to immediately do the concordant shore-based sampling before and after the cruise.In 2010, we found that a pick-up at Neah Bay, WA with 10-12 h working, and a dropoff at Port Angeles, WA completed the scientific itinerary.
