Summary of Field Work: |
Ten days of ship time are requested to support water column sampling for transparent exopolysmer particles, dissolved carbohydrate, and giant phytoplankton abundance. Deckboard incubations will examine decay of TEP over time. Sampling will be via CTD cast and towed optical systems in the region near and north of Hawaii |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
CTD rosette with bottles, hydrowire for towing a digital video plankton recorder, lab space for filtration, deckspace for incubations. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
small boat. may be used for hand collection of large floating diatom aggregates. Some snorkeling for these collections may be required. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
Only a single technician is required for CTD support and for deployment/recovery operations. The balance of the science party are the 2 PIs, postdoc, graduate students, and undergraduates required for sample collections and incubations. At least 6 undergrads and a science education will be part of the scientific party for the Broader Impacts component |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
small boat capability for diatom aggregate collection. No blue water diving is planned. The video plankton recorder is towed while oscillating between the surface and 300 m, and typically uses non-conducting cable.
A west coast ship would be acceptable as long as the transit time was allocated to keep the required number of science days.
