Summary of Field Work: |
Field work will consist of deploying specialized instrumentation on the NEPTUNE Canada observatory at the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) ROPOS. Two mooring arrays will need to be deployed from the ship either in a controlled manner using the ROV or elevators, or dropped from the ship in some drop location away from the Main Endeavour vent field. The latter method would then require the ROV to locate the moorings and move them to their deployment location (moorings would have transponder beacons). Moorings will have sensitive ceramic transducers and care must be made in handling them during the deployment. It is anticipated that the instrumentation will remain for 5 years beyond the funded proposal. As such it is a requirement from NEPTUNE Canada that 1 day of ship time be reserved for the recovery. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The ROV ROPOS is the designated vehicle for deployment of instrumentation on the NEPTUNE Canada observatory. |

|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The RV Thomson G. Thompson has been used for NEPTUNE Canada installations and the Seattle port for this ship is close to Victoria BC in case NEPTUNE requires an intermediate port stop. |
