Ship Request

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

  Project Information  
Project Title: Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT): 2018-2023 Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Angelicque White, UH_SOEST Project Institution: UH_SOEST
Project ID: 105847 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 7/28/2017 3:23:00 PM Created By: David Karl
Date Last Modified: 10/15/2020 7:31:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/BIO - 1756517 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Occupation of Station ALOHA (22.75N, 158W) for 4 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.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: near-monthly 5-day cruises # of Cruises: 4

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: Near-monthly cruises (evenly spaced throughout the year), 5 days in duration, 4 cruises total for the partial year (Aug-Dec 2018).
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 ship time per 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.

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.
