Summary of Field Work: |
Work is required to evaluate performance of a bioluminescence sensor. Above-water observers will visually observe a vehicle traveling underwater, parallel to the observers, at multiple depths. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Deck space required to position human observers at > 30 to 60 feet above vehicle (distance from observer to water). Platform on the top of the tower to hold 6-8 observers; deck space required for operation of a optical profiling package (26x43x26 inches; 50-75 obs), A-frame or J-arm required to deploy optical profiling package to depths 15 feet or less; communications & power will be provided by sea-cable; Small area near deployment deck with mouse hole to run power/communications sea cable and location to hold computer & power source (i.e. dry lab or in marine tech area); Dynamic positioning to maintain position during vehicle passes. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
This work will piggy back on front or back of Kevin Williams's cruise. New Moon period between April 25 to May 4 or June 25 to June 30. Work performed is at night, during potential scotophase of bioluminescence (10 PM to 4 AM). Period of work is expected to be performed (22:00 to 02:00) |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Ship choice is preferred because of platform on the top of the tower is 20'X3'6" that can fit 6-8 people. Ship choice is also preferred due to location during 7 April through 2 May 2014, when R/V Sharp is scheduled to be in Florida, near Panama City Beach, FL. Dates are flexible, but subject to period of new moon. Florida location required, based on NSWC-PCD requirements.
Mobilization/Demobilization can be shortened to 1/2 day or less by leveraging collaborators mobilizing/demobilizing period. Optical profiling cage can be loaded as early as March 14, 2014. Optical profiling cage is 26x43x26 weighing 50-75 lbs needs to have a crane to move on/off ship. Personnel loading should have minimal impact on mobilization/demobilization.
Preferred science nights are 3. Work is conducted at night between 22:00 and 02:00. Required nights can be reduced to 2 (next preferred) or 1 (last preference) night if required to permit scheduling |
