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.

  Carbon Flux Explorer  -  2012  -  Point Sur  
  Project Information  
Project Title: Carbon Flux Explorer Development Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: James K. Bishop, UC_Berkeley Project Institution: UC_Berkeley
Project ID: 103134 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 10/4/2011 12:27:00 PM Created By: James K. Bishop
Date Last Modified: 11/29/2011 2:39:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/OTIC - 0936143 - Funded
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.
