Summary of Field Work: |
We will test if backscatter organisms of the deep-scattering layer produce sound and describe the variability of these sounds. The field work will consist of two seven day cruises (April 2016 and June 2017) off the coast of Southern California to recover, refurbish, and redeploy a passive acoustic mooring in 4000 m depth (33 28.9 N, 122 30.9 W). We will deploy an acoustic profiling float and conduct an active acoustic and towed hydrophone survey (~50 nm radius) around the mooring site during each of the two cruises. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We request a portable Simrad EK-60 system to be mounted to the side of the research vessel, available through Dr. Julian Koslow, which will require mechanical supports securely attached to the hull (likely welded). A-Frame for acoustic mooring deployments/recoveries; winch for towed-hydrophone deployments; antennae for sonobuoy data reception; possibly RHIB for acoustic float recovery; dry lab facilities |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We would like to additionally request 2 days of ship time in fall of 2015 and 2016 to be added to the cruise CCE1/CCE-LTER, PI Uwe Send |
