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.

Earliest Start Date: 6/1/2012 Multi-Ship Op: Yes
Latest Start Date: 6/15/2012 Other Ship(s): We will be working in conjunction with the RV Centennial (or similar) which will be doing fish trawls at the same locations as our sampling.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 3 weeks # of Cruises: 5

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: We are targeting 5 cruises, evenly spaced between mid June and early-mid September of each year. Cruises start dates must be spaced by ~3 weeks (plus or minus a few days) to capture the development of the ecosystem over summer.
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
The Barnes is our regional vessel, docked at our institution. It is sufficient to meet our needs and has the necessary equipment and berthing. Other UNOLS vessels would be too large for this area.

We will be working four stations from Dabob Bay to Sisters (one station per day), working north to south. We need to fully capture at least the day-to-night cycle, so must work 5-6 hrs after sunset. We'd prefer to work >12 hr days if possible to capture the full diel cycle. We'll adjust to 12 hr days and dock or anchor until early afternoon the next sampling day if absolutely necessary.

We have not requested mob or demob days because very little will be loaded and can be built in to transit days-- we're probably over-estimated transit days at one full day each way to/from Hood Canal.
