Summary of Field Work: |
Build a rapid response capability to be deployed in the event of an oil spill.
This work will consist of one 10-day oceanographic cruise to deploy EM-APEX floats in the North East and North Central Gulf of Mexico to study the distribution and extent of hydrocarbons in the water column in real time. This 10-day survey and deployment is to study the fundamental physical and biological properties acting on the hydrocarbons to develop a predictive model to help improve mitigation approaches by emergency managers. The ideal schedule would be pre-hurricane season in May, 2017. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a CTD/rosette, ADCP, deck space for float storage, A frame for float deployment. We would also like to have the capability to measure dissolved oxygen in order to assess the float measurements during their deployment. We will have a total of ten float deployments with ten stations including the CTD/rossete during each deployment. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
The shipboard ADCP should be on continuously. |
