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.

  MF Noise  -  2015  -  Ocean/Intermediate  
  Project Information  
Project Title: Mid-Frequency Noise Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: William S. Hodgkiss, SIO Project Institution: SIO
Project ID: 104445 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 7/22/2014 1:49:00 AM Created By: William S. Hodgkiss
Date Last Modified: 10/3/2014 3:04:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NAVY/ONR - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Deployment of a 128-element vertical line array of hydrophones for observations of the mid-frequency noise field. Array is deployed to 300 m depth with an umbilical cable running to a small surface buoy.
Summary of Facility Requirements: A-frame for deployment/recovery of array/buoy. DP capability desired but not critical. Will take multiple CTDs.

No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements:
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Candidate ships are the R/V Armstrong (WHOI) and R/V Endeavor (URI). Timing constraints are dictated by sound speed profile and deployment/recovery of hardware.
Work Area for Cruise

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? Yes Coastal States:

Iceland
 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances  

Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
No If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office? No
 Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.)
Port Calls
Requested Start Port Intermediate Port(s) Requested End Port
Reykjavik, Iceland None Reykjavik, Iceland
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops
Reykjavik is most likely port to start/end cruise. Nominal experiment site is approx 1 day transit south of port.
