Summary of Field Work: |
Month-long cruises to survey atmospheric and upper ocean conditions across the shelf near Duck, NC out across the Gulf Stream (Oct/Nov 2015) and in the upwelling region off southern California (Jul/Aug 2017).
Fieldwork will consist of coordinated surveys by two ships, AUV and Aircraft (CIRPAS Twin Otter). Ship-based work will include AUV deployment/recovery, wirewalker mooring deployments with surface buoys with atmospheric measurements, ship-based atmospheric measurements (rawindsondes, tethered balloon measurements, ceilometer, wind lidar) and upper ocean measurements (CTD, ADCP, microstructure profiler). AUVs to be deployed/recovered includer subsurface gliders and surface wavegliders. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need ship's CTD/ADCP. A frame and deck space for mooring deployment/recoveries, and AUV deployment/recoveries. Deck space and/or mounting locations for atmospheric sensors. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Coordination with CIRPAS Twin Otter Aircraft for atmosphere-ocean surveys and tethered balloon atmospheric measurements made from the ship. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We requested Global for potentially bad weather conditions and science party size, but it may be possible to use an Oceans/Intermediate. |
