Ship Request

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

Project Title: Collaborative Research: pH Dynamics and Interactive Effects of Multiple Processes in a River-Dominated Eutrophic Coastal Ocean Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Wei-Jun Cai, UDEL Project Institution: UDEL
Project ID: 105009 Version #: 2
Date Submitted: 8/13/2015 9:58:00 AM Created By: Wei-Jun Cai
Date Last Modified: 1/28/2016 11:17:00 AM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/CO - 1559279 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Four 11- to 15-day cruises to study coastal ocean acidification (15 days for the July, 11 days for all others; April, July, and October 2017, and Jan 2018). Plus, six 3-day cruises to deploy & serve sensors (Feb, Jun, & Aug. 2017 and Mar, Jun and Aug. 2018).
Summary of Facility Requirements: CTD Rosette; salinometer; multicorer
Summary of other requirements and comments: none

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 1 to 2 month # of Cruises: 6

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: 3 long cruises in April (11 days), July (15 days) and October (11 days) 2017 to study
the seasonal cycle and variation of ocean CO2 and pH. 3 short cruises (3-day each) in Feb, June and August 2017 for sensor deployment and service and additional fieldwork.
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Pelicon is right at the study area; saves transit time. we used it many times before. we have science team about 10 people.
Work Area for Cruise
