Summary of Field Work: |
Occupations of Station ALOHA (22.75N, 158W) for 5 days over 10 months each year of the project. Operations include full ocean depth CTD profiling, deploying of surface tethered drifting arrays, 0-200 m net tows, and shipboard deployments of upper ocean optical instruments. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Vessel capable of berthing up to 28 scientists/students/educators. Deep sea winch, mooring winch, capstan, MET-tower, seawater intake system |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
HOT is a near-monthly time-series and requires cruises spaced evenly throughout the year. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
Near-monthly cruises (evenly spaced throughout the year), 5 days in duration, 10 cruises total for the year. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The HOT program has conducted approximately monthly shipboard sampling at our study site (Station ALOHA, 22.75N, 158W) since 1988. The current request includes 50 days of shiptime/year to maintain this time-series. The Kilo Moana is well suited for HOT program sampling, including suitable berthing (we generally bring >20 scientists) and science equipment for our research. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
HOT routinely staffs cruises with 22-26 people, including technical staff, students (undergraduates and graduates), post-docs, and ancillary science users |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
HOT utilizes 14C and 3H radioisotopes (the program supplies radiation approved working laboratory vans). In addition, we require a single supply van that houses spare parts for the CTD rosette and associated electronics.
