Summary of Field Work: |
Biennially service (deploy or turnaround or recover) a subsurface mooring on the Alaskan
Beaufort shelf at 152W, and do a hydrographic survey of the boundary current. There is also
ancillary mooring work that we do for other programs (including international PIs). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Icebreaker capable of mooring/CTD work. |

Optimum Start Date:
|
10/1/2020 |
Dates to Avoid: |
We are flexible with regard to the start date. We are happy to go late in the season during the fall freeze-up. Note: in 2018 the cruise took place from late-October to mid-November during the freeze-up, and it was extremely successful. This is also a particularly exciting/important time of the year to be sampling. |

The mooring work occurs on the continental shelf/slope of the
Alaskan Beaufort Sea near 152W. The CTD work area extends from the northeast
Chukchi Sea to the Canadian Beaufort Sea as far east as 135W. |

 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?
|
Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.) |
We will need to obtain a Northwest Territories Scientific Research Licence |

Dutch Harbor, AK, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
It is assumed that we must embark/disembark in Dutch Harbor. If possible, it would be more efficient to embark/disembark in Barrow. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The science party will supply the mooring and instrument technicians and the CTD
watchstanders and water samplers. It is assumed that the ship will supply the CTD
hardware technician plus an additional STARC technician. |

We need a TSE winch from the west coast winch pool. That being said, it is my understanding that the Healy will have its own TSE winch in 2020. |
