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.

Date Last Modified: 10/15/2021 1:21:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NOAA/NMFS - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Conduct CalCOFI surveys off Southern California quarterly, two of these on UNOLS ships.

The shiptime funding will be 26 days from NOAA and 6 days from NSF (CCE-LTER funding to Mark Ohman)
Summary of Facility Requirements: 2 cruises on the R/V Sally Ride in the Summer and Fall of 2018 within the CalCOFI "summer" and "fall" time windows:
Desired Windows Acceptable Start - End Dates
Summer: July 10 - 25 July 01 - Aug 22
Fall: Oct 10 - 25 Oct 01 - Nov 22
Summary of other requirements and comments: Over the side operations using conducting wire (CTD to be supplied by scientific party) and hydrowire (bongo nets) and trailing hydrophone arrays during transects

NSF laboratory van to accommodate the NSF CCE-LTER work (contact Shonna Dovel).
