Summary of Field Work: |
Conduct hydrographic surveys (CTD) and water column sampling along cross-shelf transects off Central Oregon during fall/winter season. We propose to conduct three 6-day (5-science, 1 stage) cruises in late fall (late Nov - early Dec), early winter (mid-late Jan) and late winter (mid-late Mar) to collect hydro-graphic data and water samples across shelf-transects centered around the NH-Line off Newport OR. We will be conducting hydro-graphic profiles and sample collection in from the surface to bottom of the water column at multiple locations across the transects and collecting data and samples from the surface underway system. We also will carry out 13C incubations from primary productivity and respiration. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will make use of CTD rosette, ADCP, surface underway sensors and radioactive van. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
This will be a series of short cruises from Newport to Newport with the ability to return to port in case of the weather deteriorating beyond safe operational conditions. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
We are trying to understand the biogeochemistry of the water column across the shelf during fall and winter and are interested in capturing different weather conditions along the coast during the wet season. The work will be carried out along the central Oregon coast with the primary transect being located along the Newport Hydrgraphic Line (NH-Line) off Newport, Oregon. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Our request reflects the reality of the Oregon coast in winter in terms of weather and ability to work. With a 5 day science request per cruise we feel confident we will be able to complete at least one transect along the NH-Line even if the weather turns and we have to return to port. Multiple occupations of the NH-Line and other transects to the North and South will be possible during periods of good weather. |

We also will carry out 13C incubations to determine rates of primary
productivity and will require space for on-deck incubators for these and
associated DOM degradation experiments.
