Summary of Field Work: |
Teams of gliders will be deployed in the Cape Hatteras coastal region consisting of at least 2 teams of 2 to 3 gliders each. A UCTD will be used to collect CTD sections underway before and after glider deployments. During an approximately one month long deployment, gliders will be recovered and redeployed as needed if problems arise. After one month the teams of gliders will be recovered along with additional collection of UCTD data. The entire field effort described above will be repeated 3-6 months after completion of the first effort. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The ship needs to be able to function offshore in 24 hour operation and have facilities for glider deployment and recovery. Gliders that will be used are standard G1 and G2 Slocums from Webb/Teledyne. A small boat (e.g., RHIB) will be needed to facilitate the glider work. The ship should be capable of mounting a UCTD (supplied by NRL) and have a regular CTD equipped. Ship ADCP, flow-through surface salinity and temperature measurements, and normal meteorological measurements are also needed. |

Optimum Start Date:
|
5/1/2017 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Cruise should start after PEACH moorings are deployed from R/V Armstrong so should not start until that cruise is nearly finished at the soonest. |

Multi-Ship Op: |
Yes |

Other Ship(s): |
This effort will be coordinated with the NSF PEACH program and a mooring deployment cruise scheduled for the R/V Armstrong |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
The above field effort should be repeated one time, 3-6 months after completion of the first effort. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Need for a regional ship close to Cape Hatteras. Would be willing to consider an alternative if the day rate was comparable. |

 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances
|
|
Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
|
Yes |
If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office?
|
No |
| Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?
|
Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.) |
Slocum gliders can have export control restrictions, but all operations will be conducted in US waters |

Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
A port near to Cape Hatteras would be useful for crew exchange etc. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
Science party will likely consist of 2 scientists, 2 ocean techs, and 2 students. A science party exchange should be planned for the mid-cruise port stop |
