Summary of Field Work: |
We will be sampling two open water master stations sampled by the EPA on Lake Michigan (MI27M, MI41M) and two open water master stations on Lake Superior (SU01M, SU08M). At each station we will collect samples from the photic zone to quantify and characterize cyanobacteria. We will collect water from the rosette and deploy McLane pumps to filter water in situ. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We need a CTD/rosette, the Blue Heron’s McLane in situ filtration pumps, and space in the lower deck laboratory to set up a filtering station. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The Blue Heron is the only UNOLS vessel on the Great Lakes. Dates were selected based on anticipated timing of mid-season stratification on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Cruise needs to be completed by 7/27/2019 to ensure enough time to prepare for a cruise on the R/V Lake Guardian that departs from Milwaukee on August 1. 5 science, 1 MOB, 1 DEMOB, and 1 estimated transit days are requested. Of the 5 science days requested for each cruise, 3 days will be spent transiting between stations from central Lake Michigan to central Lake Superior, 5 hours are planned at each of 4 stations to sample from the rosette and deploy McLane in situ filtration units. At one station, we will sample periodically for an additional 10 hours to ensure that our results are robust to the time of sampling. We anticipate that it will take approximately 17 hours to transit between ports and our first and last science stations. 6 combined days of science and estimated transit per cruise leaves almost 1 day that could be used to accommodate weather-related delays before we would have to scale back our science plan. |

Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
Milwaukee is near our first station on Lake Michigan, reasonable driving distance from the origin of our science party (Chicago, IL). Duluth is the home port of the Blue Heron, reasonable distance from our last sampling station. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The science party will consist of a Chief Scientist who will assist with sampling and sample processing where help is needed, one scientist whose primary responsibility is collecting and processing samples from the rosette (preservation, filtering), and two additional scientists trained to operate the McLane in situ filtration units (program them, exchange filters). During the first cruise a Chicago Public High School teacher will join us to assist with sample collection and learn about shipboard science. Sampling and sample processing will occur around the clock, depending on when we reach stations. Shifts will be established such that at least three scientists are available to sample and processes samples from each station. One technician is requested to operate the CTD/rosette and deployment of McLane filtration units. |
