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 Information  
Project Title: Atlantic Deepwater Ecosystem Observatory Network (ADEON) soundscape study Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Jennifer Miksis-Olds, UNH Project Institution: UNH
Project ID: 105265 Version #: 3
Date Submitted: 3/21/2016 4:40:00 PM Created By: Kyle M. Becker
Date Last Modified: 2/21/2017 3:00:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NAVY/ONR - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Deploy 5 long-term moorings with passive acoustics and full complement of oceanographic and met measurement systems. These moorings will be nominally distributed over a 1000 km line along the 1000 m isobath in the Outer Continental Shelf area of the Altantic off the southeast of the US. The moorings will be deployed and tested over 5 weeks. Long-time series data will be collected over multiple years. After initial deployment it is anticipated that each mooring will need to be visited for serving every 3 months.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Sufficient deck space and lifting capacity for mooring deployments.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 6 months # of Cruises: 4

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: This request is to deploy moorings. It is anticipated they moorings will need to be revisited for servicing every 3 months by a combination of NOAA and/or UNOLS ships. It may not be R/V Armstrong.
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Need a large ship for initial mooring deployments.
