Summary of Field Work: |
Deployment of sensors for wave measurements:
The objective of the field work is to deploy a package of instrument at roughly 50 m water on Louisiana shelf (perhaps using R/V Pelican) and retrieve the package after 2-3 months. Also, we will collect some flow data (using ADCP), weather data, and hydrography data (using CTD). We need to do this any time during winter or early spring and retrieve the package late spring, and deploy in the early fall and retrieve later in winter. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will use the Pelican's ADCP, CTD, and weather system whenever possible to collect data as well. (the sensor package to be deployed will be provided by ourselves). We can also add a towed ADCP if Pelican's vessel-mounted ADCP is not available. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
It should be a single day trip for each deployment and each retrieval, twice a year (i.e. each year we should have two deployments and two retrieval). |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
The scientific objective requires that we do deployment (1 day) and retrieval (1 day) for each deployment season. We will have two such seasons each year: one during fall-winter, the other during winter-spring. But 2018 is a little different because we started late so we will make a short deployment if possible during March (hopefully) and retrieve in April. If it is impossible to deploy in March, we can move it to April or May, and retrieve after ~ 2 months. Later in 2018, we need to deploy in Sept. or Oct. and retrieve after two months. In 2019, we need to deploy in Dec. (2018) or Jan. and retrieve in 2 months, and deploy again in Sept. or Oct. and retrieve in 2 months. In 2020, we need to deploy in Dec. (2019) or Jan. and retrieve in 2 months. We need a total of 10 days in 10 trips, each lasting one day. We will need R/V Pelican from LUMCON. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Our use of the vessel will be offshore of Louisiana at ~ 50 m water on the shelf. Pelican appears to be the best choice. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The size (4) is the maximum. We may just need 2 or 3, adding another student. Two will assist with the deployment. The other two will be helpful for checking the ADCP and conducting CTD casts. |
