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: Collaborative Research: Key Microbial Processes in Oxygen Minimum Zones: From In Situ Community Rate Measurements to Single Cells Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Maria Pachiadaki, WHOI Project Institution: WHOI
Project ID: 106405 Version #: 9
Date Submitted: 2/11/2019 12:50:00 PM Created By: Maria Pachiadaki
Date Last Modified: 10/26/2020 9:47:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/BIO - 1924492 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Fieldwork consists of multiple floating mooring deployments, Niskin rosette deployments, and use of PI provided water column sampler (MS-SID) on the CTD wire. The MS-SID is lighter than a Niskin rosette, and has been used on Oceanus and Atlantis previously.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Niskin rosette (8-12L bottles) with CTD-O2. Rad van. Floating mooring deployment capability. Will deploy 2 connected instruments on a single floating mooring. Each is approx. 5'tall by 3'x3' wide. These instruments conduct incubation studies for 12-24 hours at a time.
Summary of other requirements and comments: mooring technician or restech needs to be experienced in deploying floating moorings. Need other restech for CTD work.

Requested Ship, Operating Days and Dates
Year: 2022 Ship/Facility: Atlantis
Optimum Start Date: 6/15/2022 Dates to Avoid: Date are selected to work at the ETNP oxygen minimum zone during intense stratification. It is required for studying processes that occur when the core of the oxygen minimum zone is fully anoxic.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: NA
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
13 days at each station is required to complete moored incubation studies. Atlantis or any other vessel of this size is required to accommodate our size science party and to safely deploy the floating moorings and the in situ instruments. Atlantis have been used before for operations of the in situ instruments

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? Yes Coastal States:

Mexico
 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
 Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.)
Foreign Clearance will be requested
Port Calls
Requested Start Port Intermediate Port(s) Requested End Port
San Diego, CA, USA None, San Diego, CA, USA
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops
San Diego is requested because much easier logistically and much less expensive for the science party to leave from San Diego than a Mexican port
