Summary of Field Work: |
Characterization of the temperature, oxygen and zooplankton assemblage in the Eastern North Pacific. Shipboard measurement of critical oxygen partial pressures for diverse zooplankton. We will use MOCNESS and Tucker Trawls as well as bluewater SCUBA to collect specimens. CTD, Imaging systems and a "wire flyer" will be deployed to characterize environmental parameters. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We require a mid-class research vessel (e.g. New Horizon). We request a 2 m MOCNESS system with oxygen sensor. The MOCNESS, CTD, imaging system and Wire Flyer require 0.32 conducting cable while the Tucker Trawl requires 0.68 conducting cable. We will SCUBA dive from a small boat (e.g. zodiac) deployed from the ship. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
none |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The Sally Ride is of sufficient size to hold our science party and deploy all field equipment. The Oceanus is not. |

 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.) |
No foreign clearance required. We've estimated our transect to be well outside of Mexican waters but do not have access to charts showing all islands. The important point is to run a north south transect through an oxygen/temperature gradient. The distance from shore is only important for minimizing transit time. |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
We require a 2m MOCNESS system with oxygen sensor (SBE43 or similar). We will require both 0.322 and 0.681 trawl wire. We are in discussions with winch pool to obtain a 2nd winch.
