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 Title: ACIDD: Across the Channel: Investigating Diel Dynamics Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Nicholas Baetge, UCSB Project Institution: UCSB
Project ID: 105561 Version #: 5
Date Submitted: 11/27/2016 4:08:00 PM Created By: Nicholas Baetge
Date Last Modified: 1/17/2017 7:35:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: INST/UCSD/SIO - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: 5-day survey study (not including MOB and DMOB days) that will quantify the biogeochemical changes observed in the Santa Barbara Channel on diel scales. The study can be conducted at anytime in the month of December 2017 (based on ship availability to the UC Ship Funds program).

The field study will involve ~30 CTD casts over the monthly Santa Barbara Channel Plumes and Blooms (PnB) survey section. 12 of those casts will be conducted following a mixed layer-drogued drifter, capturing three full diel cycles within a water mass. The remaining casts will be completed over two days, surveying the wider region of the SBC. These casts will serve to constrain the spatial variability that might limit the extent to which the observations made at the central station can be extrapolated.

The track-line, including transit from the SIO MarFac to the central station, covers 350 nautical miles. Assuming continuous cruising at the speed of 10 knots, the minimum transit time necessary to complete the full track-line is two days. Given this transit time, the three-day occupation at the central station, and the four repeat 21 nautical mile surveys of the PnB line (over two days), the minimum time to complete the proposed study is 7 days.
Summary of Facility Requirements: -Marine technical services
-Radioisotope van (if available)
-Flow-through seawater (unfiltered and/or filtered)
-Shipboard network
-Satellite broadband
-24 bottle CTD rosette
