Summary of Field Work: |
6 AM. Transit to San Diego Trough – Jumars SD Trough Station N 32 35.75’, W 117 29.00’
~2.0 to 2.5hours [ Safety, ship operations and facilities discussions]
CTD – 1.5 h to 5mab, water depth 1220 m [ Demonstrate T, S, Oxygen, Light and
Transmission changes with depth]
Multicore Drop – 1.5 h 1220 m [Collect intact sediments illustrating chemical and
biological properties. Target organism – Tharyx luticastellus [ mudball building
polychaetes] Sediment will be sieved on deck with running seawater. Retained animals
will be examined with microscopes in the lab.
Transit to Isaacs Kid Midwater Trawl deployment location N 32 35.9’, W 117 27.8’
Isaacs Kid Midwater Trawl 4 h along a line from N 32 35.9’, W 117 27.8’ towards N
32 37.0’, W 117 39.7’ Tow depth 500-800 m. [Sample midwater fish, jellies, crustaceans
and observe adaptations]
Otter Trawl - 3 h along a line from N 32 37.0’, W 117 39.7’towards N 32 35.9’, W
117 27.8’ [ Collect benthic megafaunal invertebrates and fishes from 1200 m; discuss
lifestyles, feeding modes and community structure]
Plankton Tow – 1 h 1 m net. [Tow at depths of 400-700 m if possible. Collect and
observe deep-water plankton.]
Depart San Diego Trough: 1930 Transit to Marine Facilities - 2 hours
[ examine sampled material and pack up during transit]
Arrive Nimitz: 2130 – 2200 |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
CTD with Oxygen Sensor
Multicorer (with video if someone can help with setup)
Otter Trawl
Isaacs Kid Midwater Trawl
Plankton Net
Running Seawater
Seabeam
ADCP |

Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We will need permission for 37 scientist/student berths for one day. I would also like permission for the staff assisting to stay on board overnight the night before the cruise (either Nov. 4 or Nov. 5th).(Up to 6 people). |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Student cruise must be on weekends to allow maximum participation (so students don't miss classes).
Note actual target position is N 32 35.75’, W 117 29.00’ |
