Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
need ocean or global class vessel for safe operations to deploy/recover 24 OBSs. Kilo Moana is first choice because cruises likely go in/out of Honolulu. PI has experience with K.M. and works well with crew. Any global or ocean class vessel on transit between U.S. West Coast and Honolulu is also suitable. |

 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 |

None |
Honolulu, HI, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
in/out of honolulu is closest but any transit between u.s.
west coast and honolulu will do; start port has to have loading capabilities |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
science party will include students who will learn
survey techniques; science party will provide technicians to operate OBSs; we will need two marine technician to operate ship computers/network/cranes/multibeam etc. around the clock |

| SCUBA Diving | Radioisotope use - briefly describe | NO Radioisotope use/Natural level work | Other Operator Provided Inst. - Describe |
| 1 PI-Provided Vans - briefly describe | MOCNESS | | |
|
Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
if WHOI provides OBSIP instruments, they likely bring a lab van; need to plug into hull 12 kHz transducer for acoustic communication with OBSs; will need winches/A-frame and/or cranes to deploy OBSs
|
|
|
|
Explain Major Ancillary Facilities
Requirements and list description
and provider for "other" systems. |
we need 25 broadband OBSs provided by the OBSIP |
