Summary of Field Work: |
The main objective of this cruise is to collect coincidental in situ bio-optical and satellite data (CALIPSO) at the mouth of the Mississippi River. There will be two satellite overpasses during the 10 day cruise. The first is on day 4 and the second is on day 7. Three moorings will be deployed along/between the satellite tracks prior to the first overpass. During and between the overpasses, we will traverse the tracks with a scanfish in tow. Stations will also be selected along the tracks to collect CTD casts, water samples and bio-optical profiles using an AC-S, LISST and MVSM. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
A-Frame for towed undulating vehicle, Line Moorings, and bottom mounted moorings. CTD with Rosette, and use of the CTD winch and frame for other profile-packages. Wet and dry lab facilities and sufficient working space on the main deck. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
The main objective of this project requires clear skies during CALIPSO overpasses. Because of this we are hoping to adjust the dates of the cruise depending on the weather forecast. Knowing the satellite overpass times and locations, the following 10 day windows are of interest with the idea that we will try for option 1 first, etc.
