Arrival Port:          Woods Hole, MA
Agent:                 Same as above
Installed Scientific   12 & 3.5 kHz Transducers
Equipment:             ADCP - will likely turn off ship's ADCP, data from
                       science ADCP will be given to ship for archives.
                       CTD/Rosette - T, C, P, transmissometer - used as a
                       backup to 2nd profiler.
                       IMET - wind speed/dir, airT, RH, SW, barom
                       2 Transducer well holes (2 small, 1 large - holes
                       are currently empty)
                       Transducers to be installed during maintenance
                       period by SSSG.
WHOI-Provided Science  MOCNESS - minimal casts expected. - casts through
Tools:                 starboard side of A-Frame using CTD Wire.
                       Portable SEAMAC winch w/sliprings to be used with
                       0.322 coaxial wire - 2nd profiler from 01 deck on
                       hydroboom
Program-Provided       Turbulance profiling package - expect to drift or
Science Tools:         run at 1-2 knots maximum - might be deployed for
                       days through A-Frame.
                       Winch for profiling package
                       Transducer pole mounted on port side - "Outfall
                       pipe" with 1200 kHz ADCP, will not extend below the
                       keel.
Shipboard              GPS Navigation
Equipment/Nav:
Other Requirements:    Night Work Anticipated
Notes:                 After departure, find an appropriate location to
                       depth and dunk test profilers.
                       Arrive at SW06 site by next morning.
                       Run profiles for one day on established track to
                       determine area characteristics
                       Follow wave packets towards shore and approach shore
                       line as close as possible. estimated 2-3 days for
                       each wave packet.
                       Run back out and repeat.

                       Possible boat transfer from RMAS Quest. They are
                       supposed to come to Oceanus.
