|
Summary of Field Work: |
A well-instrumented surface mooring has been maintained at 20S, 85W since October 2000 to obtain long-term climate observations under the marine stratus cloud deck. The main goal of the cruise is to recover the present mooring and deploy a replacement mooring. To be conducted on Melville leg between Valparaiso and Galapagos May 2012. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Ship capable of heavy surface mooring work, with ADCP, Seabeam, CTD, A-frame, deck space. Require small boat, crane, climate quality shipboard meteorological sensors with recent calibration, access to shipboard data stream. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Will bring mooring winch and related handling gear; 220-240V for winch, 110V for winding cart. Will use ship's capstan if rated for continuous duty. |
