Summary of Field Work: |
Field work will include buoy servicing, ~40 CTD casts to 1500m depth, XBT, Argo float and surface drifter deployments, and recovery of two PMEL hydrophones. Field work may also include deployment of underway CTD system. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Ideally, 3120 square feet of aft deck space for mooring storage and operations, plus deck space for CTD operations; deck space for one 10' van, and ideally also a 20' van (see "other requirements"); A-frame capable of handling Atlas mooring-style buoys; hydro winch with 2000 meters of conducting cable. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Project may require space for one 20' van for AEROSE project collaborators (see http://aerose.org/).
In past years, the PIRATA Northeast Extension cruise has been conducted on the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown. In 2014, the Brown will be in the Pacific to service the TAO array, and NOAA charter funds will be made available to charter an Atlantic vessel for this cruise. The optimal timing is November 2014, but the cruise can happen up to 4 months before or 2 months after, as determined by availability of the R/V Knorr. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
Based on the smaller platform and the increased mission requirements (i.e. recovery of the 4 NSF moorings), we figure we'd need about 44 op days over two legs, with a two-day stop ~midway in Cape Verde, and one day each staging and destaging in Barbados and San Juan, respectively |
