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: Permanence of the recent expansions of the OMZ and denitrification regimes in the eastern tropical North Pacific Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Allan Devol, UW Project Institution: UW
Project ID: 105417 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 8/1/2016 4:44:00 PM Created By: Allan Devol
Date Last Modified: 12/8/2016 11:06:00 AM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/CO - 1657958 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Add two days ship time to each of two funded cruises of NSF grant 1542240 (Rocap, Devol, Keil and Deutsch PIs) to utilize transit to sample a section along 110 degrees West between the tip of Baja to 14 degrees North. We will sample ~18 stations for nutrients and oxygen to see it the recent expansion of the OMZ and denitrification regimes are persistent. The two cruises to which we wish to add the shiptime are those requested for August 2017 and May 2018.
Summary of Facility Requirements: CTD
Summary of other requirements and comments: NONE
