Summary of Field Work: |
The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) are engaged in a collaborative effort at NDBC station 46044. The buoy and mooring supports NDBC’s operational mission and the scientific research mission conducted by MBARI. The buoy is located at 36.751 N 122.335 W (36°45'5" N 122°20'6" W) which is about 30 miles offshore of Monterey Bay CA. The existing buoy and mooring are in need of exchange with a new buoy and mooring. The mooring contains an acoustic release that will be activated to release the mooring from the anchor. The mooring, sensors on the mooring, and buoy will be recovered. The new buoy and mooring will be deployed and tested for proper operation prior to departing the station. |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Space on shore to receive, unload from truck, and load aboard ship:
*3-meter dia x 17 ft tall discus buoy (~3,000 lbs)
*Disk anchor (~5,000 pounds)
*Mooring line box (6x6x6 ft, ~2,000 lbs)
*Anchor chain pallet (~2,000 pounds)
*Instrument boxes (~10 ea, 3x3x3ft, ~200 lbs ea)
Aft Crane must be operational |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Need the starboard rail section near the crane to be removed to allow clearance during buoy deployment and recovery |
