Ocean 443:  Ship Time Request for Justin Bergquist

Page 1: the general request

 

The purpose of the Ship Time Request is to give you practice in describing your cruise needs very precisely and succinctly so that a Marine Operations group could adequately plan for your  needs.  This 2-page-long document should take considerable thought and probably a significant amount of chart work in order to provide all of the necessary information.  Ship Time Requests also form the basis of a request to Pooled Equipment for support of all of the class projects.  The Request should tell a reader what you’re doing, where you’re going, what you need, and how much time your observations will require.

 

1.  Principal Investigator:

Justin Bergquist, Brandon Knox-Co-investigator,

2.  Project Title: Sediment Accumulation Rates in the West Arm of Glacier Bay based on lead 210 analysis

3.  Platform required (circle):

            R/V Thompson

4.  Geographic Area(s) of Research (please attach a chartlet):

            See Chase’s Google earth chart statons 8, 10, 12, 16 and 22

5.  Shipboard Equipment Required (circle):

            Designate each required piece of equipment.  Be very specific.

            Bathy               CTD                 WinFrog          IMET               Hiab crane

            EM300             Aux. Winch  Trawl wire      .680 wire            Portable Capstan

            Kevlar line       Rad van       Walk-In Coolers (temp 0-4 degrees Celsius)            ADCP              Thermosalinograph

 

6.  CTD sensors required:

            Name each component that you will need.  Sensors are frequently taken off the CTD for calibration if users don’t request that they be made available.

Niskin Bottles (# and size)            Fluorometer            Transmissometer            PAR            O2            pH

 

7.  Pooled Equipment Required:

            Van Veen Grab sampler

8.  Non-Pooled Equipment Required (note source or location):

            Kasten Corer and x-ray trays

9.  Time Considerations and Constraints (tides, currents, night/day):

            No time restrictions

10.  Operational Summary

            Would like to sample in order:station #’s 12, 10 ,8 ,22 and 16.  Each station should take no more than two hours for Kasten Core sampling.  The other two hours of work can be done while the ship is traveling
