Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
NA |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We are generally flexible in our shiptime, but are proposing to conduct our project research during the summer and spring transitions. Our prior work suggests that these seasons are the ones where the process of mixotrophy would contribute significantly to the micorbial food web, although they will likely have different impacts in the different seasons. |

 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 |

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
|
Port Lyttelton, New Zealand |
None |
Port Lyttelton, New Zealand |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
Lyttelton, NZ and McMurdo Station are the two ports most commonly used by the NBP when deploying in the Ross Sea. Either port is acceptable for start and/or end of the cruise. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
All members of the science party will be involved in sampling and running experiments during the cruise. All of the project PIs will participate on the cruise, and the rest of the party will be composed of students, postdocs and technicians from the participating institutions. Shipboard technicians will be needed to operate the CTD and to accomplish nutrient analyses of seawater. |
