Summary of Field Work: |
Sampling atmosphere (aerosols, rain), water column (dissolved and particles), and surface sediments along 152 W from Alaska to Tahiti using conventional rosette and GEOTRACES trace element carousel system, and McLane pumps on Vectran cable.Towed sampling fish for surface waters between stations. Approximately 30 vertical profile stations will be occupied. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Five sampling and analytical vans on main deck; aerosol and rain collectors above bridge; GEOTRACES Dynacon winch and Allied Systems A frame on starboard; all ship's labs occupied; aluminum boom and base installed on starboard for towed fish; 6000m .322 vectran spooled on ship's spare hydrographic winch |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
trace metal sampling cruise, so concerns over contamination from ship ops and holding tank discharges. |

Optimum Start Date:
|
7/1/2018 |
Dates to Avoid: |
If N-S transect, then start date within given range is fine, but if S-N transect, the start must be in June to time with phytoplankton blooms and best weather |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
N/A |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Need at least 35 berths, maximum deck use, 60+ day endurance, N-S transect starting in Alaska to match phytoplankton blooms, and "downwind" in northern trades |
