Summary of Field Work: |
Collecting and observing (via acoustics and ROV) mesopelagic organisms and conducting carbon flux and microbial diversity measurements in the slope waters off southern New England as part of WHOI's Ocean Twilight Zone project. We will use several techniques for this work, including CTD/rosette casts, MOCNESS (10 m^2) tows, pumping water from depth, towing an acoustics package (Deep-See), and deploying an ROV (Mesobot) and carbon flux drifters (Minions). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will require the following items to be provided: CTD/rosette, 0.681 fiber optic cable/winch, Sonardyne USBL for tracking Mesobot, EK80, and other standard sensors (flow through, ADCP, met, etc.). The science party will provide all other equipment, including the MOC10, Deep-See, Mesobot (and necessary clump weight setup), deep water pumps, laboratory equipment. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Having the 0.681 fiber optic winch back on for this cruise will be necessary for using Deep-See. If not possible, we will at least need the 0.68 conducting wire for the MOC10. |
