Summary of Field Work: |
We will be deploying and recovering multiple autonomous free instruments called Carbon Flux Explorers that will measure carbon sedimentation to 1000 m depths. one buoy tethered system will also be deployed. Work will start in sheltered waters and then graduate to the California Current. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
CTD Rosette system: 12x 10L samplers for SPROUL or equivalent; 24x 10L samplers for medium ship. O2 sensor and fluorometer; we will supply other sensors. Small boat recovery of instruments may be required. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Ports (San Diego) for Sproul; Medium ship time in Cal. Current and could be shared. |

Optimum Start Date:
|
3/23/2012 |
Dates to Avoid: |
This expedtion will be to test deploy 3 fully functional Carbon Flux Explorers in coastal waters and in the California Current System. We'd follow them for several days. |
