|
Ship/Facility: |
Pelican
|
|
Optimum Start Date:
|
4/18/2020 |
Dates to Avoid: |
We are looking for certain river discharge and weather conditions, and we have other constraints that prevent going before April 13 or finishing after May 10. |

|
Earliest Start Date: |
4/13/2020 |
Multi-Ship Op: |
Yes |
|
Latest Start Date: |
4/30/2020 |
Other Ship(s): |
Interested in the Walton Smith if it is reasonable to go that far from its home port. |

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year) |
No |

|
Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
Project timing is sensitive to annual cycle of river discharge. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Looking for moderate river discharge, moderate wave energy. Other PI constraints restrict the dates to the range April 13 - May 10. |

 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)?
|
Yes |
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.) |
Staying in US waters so ITAR is not an issue. |
