Summary of Field Work: |
Deployment of an AUV to conduct high resolution geophysical survey work, followed by seabed sampling with boxcore, megacore, and deployment of free vehicle sampling (i.e. fish traps, sediment traps, etc..). Additionally, the ship would be conducting opportunistic multibeam survey work between primary operations. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Ship mounted multibeam system, enough deck space for the REMUS LARS system, A-frame & winch capable of deploying boxcores & megacorse in 4500m water depth, cranes and deck space capable of staging, deploying and retrieving free floating sampler & equipment.
We have currently identified the R/V Thompson |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We have currently identified the R/V Thompson, are speaking with Univ of WA and focusing on a cruise basing out of San Diego starting in Feb / Mar 2015. The vessel has a window of time available and meets our technical requirements. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The vessel has the deck space, A-frame, winches and cranes that meet our requirements AND has an opening in the schedule feb-mar 2015 that matches our window of operations as determined by the WHOI REMUS AUV we are using. |
