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.

  Project Information  
Project Title: Measurement of Ambient Light at Mesopelagic Depths Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Justin Haag, SIO Project Institution: SIO
Project ID: 104150 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 12/3/2013 11:08:00 AM Created By: Justin Haag
Date Last Modified: 2/12/2014 12:15:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: INST/UCSD/SIO - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Deployments require deep water (~1000m), such as that available in the San Diego trough. Measurements would ideally take place under clear, sunny skies.

Two or three deployments per day, each lasting approximately three hours. Ship will hold position and instrument will be lowered to starting depth, then to successive depths at specified intervals. After reaching maximum depth, instrument will be retrieved.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Custom instrument package (including deep sea light meters, transmissometer, and CTD) is deployable using ship CTD winch. Maximum depth will be between 700m and 800m. Instrument is tethered but acquires data autonomously.

SD trough
Description of Op Area: All operations should be done over approximately 1000m depth in the San Diego trough. We may transit to different stations between deployments. However, there will only be two or three deployments per day, so we will likely not go too far.

Instrument package will be deployed using CTD winch. Deployments will be much the same as CTD deployments, except that depths will be held at regular intervals, and the system will acquire data autonomously.
