Summary of Field Work: |
The O&M Cabled Array cruise will turn >100 instruments and secondary infrastructure that includes junction boxes, benthic experiment packages, and instrumented science pods on moorings. A mooring turn may also be included. Verification samples and data will be collected for water column instruments via several CTD casts. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Because of the significant amount of infrastructure to be turned and personnel requirements requirements of >20 team members, the R/V Thompson is required. Turning of instruments and infrastructure will require an ROV. |

 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)?
|
No |
If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office?
|
No |
| Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
|
Seattle, WA, USA |
Newport, OR, USA |
Seattle, WA, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
We request Seattle because significant amount of infrastructure needs mobilized that includes electronics we prefer not to transport long distances because it then needs retested prior to departure. Two stops are required in Newport to offload and mobilize additional gear and transfer personnel with different expertise. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
To run 24/7 operations with an ROV and turning of instrumentation requires a full science party component including the 8-10 ROV team (included as the second science team). |
