Summary of Field Work: |
We will be working in the Great Lake system to conduct field trials of instrumentation which we are developing to continuously measure greenhouse gas concentrations and natural isotopes dissolved in surface waters. This newly developed system operates shipboard and seawater is continuously pumped to it at a rate of 20-25 liters per minute. We will be bringing both the analytical system as well as the water pumping equipment. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
All of the equipment necessary for the continuous and underway sampling and analysis of surface seawater will be supplied by the PI and thus the main requirements of the research vessel is a standard laboratory. We will test this equipment and collect data during transits on Lake Superior. Occasionally, we will stop at a station to collect water column samples for intercomparison, so a CTD rosette with 10L bottles is also necessary. |

Dates to Avoid: |
My schedule is fairly flexible during late summer and fall of 2016, so the dates of this cruise can be modified to maximize scheduling efficiency. |

Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules: |
Lake Superior |
| Description of Op Area: |
We are testing the functionality of newly developed ocean technology and transits across Lake Superior would be an appropriate way to test. I have chosen Lake Superior to conduct these trials since this is the home port of the R/V Blue Heron. However, we could also work in any other Great Lake if that would help maximize the scheduling efficiency of this research vessel. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
We will be conducting two different operations. (1) We will be collecting continuous, underway data with a newly developed analytical system. (2) We will be collecting water column samples with a CTD rosette. The continuous, underway system is autonomous and will be the responsibility of the science party. The CTD sampling will be occasional (approximately 2 or 3 stations per day) and we will work with the marine technician to schedule and conduct all CTD sampling during daylight hours. |

requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
On this cruise, I will be testing my own over-the-side system for the continuous analysis of water. In addition to this operation, we will periodically collect water with a CTD rosette.
