Summary of Field Work: |
We will be using traditional tools and an ROV to explore deep-water planktonic and benthic communities along the slope, in offshore waters and at seamounts in the Gulf of Alaska. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The vessel needs to support 2 dozen scientists and the ROV Global Explorer with a working depth of 3000m |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
The ROV comes with a 20 ft control van and its own winch with HPU that will need to tie into ship's power |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
this project using carry-over OER funding. OER will cover 10 days of ship use, and does not have resources to pay for transit. Therefore we will use ports calls required for NGA LTER with which it overlaps/compliments in several objectives, and will cover 4 days at sea |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
~50% of time will be for ROV dives, and remainder as transit and traditional tools (multinets, box cores, CTD) |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
ROV requires space for control van and their winch with electro-mechanical tether for ROV - multibeam surveys of seamounts will precede and/or accompany ROV dives
