Summary of Field Work: |
Project will conduct measurements of O2 and Ar from shipboard measurements and from underwater mass spectrometer attached to a tow sled. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Project will require ship access with underway seawater system and capability to extend and retract a ~100 kg tow sled in the euphotic zone (top 200 m of the ocean). |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Drum with conducting wire coaxial cable as typically found with ctd rosette systems. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We have based this STR on the idea of a collaborative use with a hypothetical hydrographic survey with spaced CTD stations. We propose to deploy and tow the Triaxus in between CTD stations. The Triaxus technicians indicate a max towing speed of 9-10 knots. This could increase transit time between stations by 20%, if normal cruising speed is 10 knots. Assuming 16 hours steaming per day, this adds an additional 2 days onto a 14 day cruise. We have included an additional two days to reflect deployment and recovery time. Most equipment, aside from the Triaxus will be mobilized from the URI Bay Campus, and this is the basis of the choice of ship and location. |
