Summary of Field Work: |
The contractor shall provide operational and logistics support in the form of an oceanographic research vessel and crew to retrieve unmanned ocean instrumentation in the Sargasso Sea and then ship the retrieved instrumentation to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The contractor shall provide the operational and logistics support in the form of an oceanographic research vessel required for the purpose of retrieving four Teledyne Webb Research APEX-EM floats (62 lbs per float, 1.5 m x 30 cm diameter each) and one Datawell Mini Directional Waverider GPS buoy (38 lbs, ~40 cm diameter sphere) in the Sargasso Sea |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
The contractor shall safely ship the instrumentation, four Teledyne Webb Research APEX-EM floats (62 lbs per float, 1.5 m x 30 cm diameter each, with Lithium batteries) and one Datawell Mini Directional Waverider GPS buoy (38 lbs, ~40 cm diameter sphere, with Lithium) back to JHU/APL. |
