Summary of Field Work: |
Predict the export and fate of ocean Net Primary Production (NPP) from satellite and other observations. Goal is to sample multiple ecosystem states during field work in the NE Pacific (circa Station P). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
One ocean and one global class ship desired.
Can discuss/negotiate two ocean class ships.
2018 field work will be focused on in situ work for 40 days (somewhat negotiable) between the second half of August to second week in October (2018) timeframe. |

Year: |
2018
|
Ship/Facility: |
Global
|
|
Optimum Start Date:
|
8/15/2018 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Due to the need to sample a range of ecosystem states and the need for light (bio-optics and remote sensing) the dates have some flexibility but not endless flexibility. Willing to negotiate. 30-40 science days on each vessel preferable. |

|
Earliest Start Date: |
8/1/2018 |
Multi-Ship Op: |
Yes |
|
Latest Start Date: |
9/1/2018 |
Other Ship(s): |
The project needs one global and one ocean class ship (one process and one survey vessel).

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
N. Atl in 2020 if that counts as a repeat (TBD on budget). |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
One ocean and one global class ship desired.
Can discuss/negotiate two ocean class ships.
2018 field work will be focused on in situ work for no less than 26 days (somewhat
negotiable) between the second half of August to second week in October
(2018) timeframe. |
