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: Distributed Biological Observatory - Northern Chukchi Integrated Study Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Robert S. Pickart, WHOI Project Institution: WHOI
Project ID: 106187 Version #: 2
Date Submitted: 7/2/2018 1:23:00 PM Created By: Robert S. Pickart
Date Last Modified: 7/2/2018 1:26:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NOAA - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: This is an interdisciplinary cruise to continue timeseries measurements of the water column and benthos along the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) lines in the Chukchi Sea. In addition to occupying DBO transects 3-5, we will carry out a process study investigating the pathways and ecosystem impacts of Pacific-origin water on carbon cycling in the Chukchi Sea.
Summary of Facility Requirements: The activities will include conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) work, water sampling, filtering, net tows, benthic grabs, sediment coring (HAPS core and large gravity core), mooring work, and underway sampling. We will use the CTD system (conducting wire), trawl winch, refrigerators, freezers, underway systems, vessel-mounted ADCPs, and bathymetric systems.

Requested Ship, Operating Days and Dates
Year: 2019 Ship/Facility: USCGC Healy
Optimum Start Date: 9/1/2019 Dates to Avoid: We need to carry out the work in late-summer because of the seasonalilty of the system. In particular, we need to be consistent with the sampling done during the previous phase of the program. In addition, we need to complete the work near Barrow Canyon by mid-September because of the autumn whale hunt.

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements We will use the CTD/rosette and starboard winch with conducting wire, the aft winch with conducting wire, the aft trawl winch, a significant amount of lab space, refrigerators, freezers, underway thermosalinograph, vessel-mounted ADCPs, and bathymetric systems. We will carry out science operations around the clock. Technicians are needed for managing the CTD system and all of the over-the-side operations, running salts, carrying out the IT functions, and the operation of the multi-beam, Knudsen, and vessel-mounted ADCPs.
