+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | OCEANUS CRUISE SYNOPSIS | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Voyage - Leg: OC 406-6 Voyage Dates: 27 Oct - 19 Nov 2004 Chief Sci(s): Michael Gregg (Gregg) Address: University of Washington Applied Physics Lab. 1013 NE 40th St. Seattle, WA 98105 Phone: 206-543-1353 Email: gregg@apl.washington.edu Cruise Objective: Obj.: To observe how the irregular bathymetry affects internal waves and mixing. Science Activities: Activities: Microstructure profiling, towing a depth-cycling towed body, and recovering moorings set earlier from a Greek ship. Operations Area: Aegean Sea 36 deg N, 22-34' 25 deg E, 01-14' SSSG Tech: sssg @oceanus.whoi.edu Departure Port: Greece Agent: TBD Arrival Port: Greece Agent: TBD Installed Scientific 12 KHz Transducer Equipment: ADCP IMET Sensors - All Sensors critical as we need to compute buoyancy fluxes WHOI-Provided Science Tools: Program-Provided dynacon winch, 20 ft container on 01 deck if Science Tools: possible, tow body 220 VAC, 50 amps, 3 phase power for Dynacon winch for our towed body. 3500 lb and has a 4 ft by 6 ft. footprint for winch Shipboard GPS Navigation Equipment/Nav: Other Requirements: Storage Vans Notes: New and Used lithium batteries will be shipped back to Seattle Some particulars about the moorings, which we will set from the R/V Aegeao, the ship of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, about 1 September. We plan to put down: 1) A 300 kHz broadband ADCP in a trawlproof cage 2) Three McLane Moored Profilers 3) A LongRanger ADCP in a gimbaled tripod 4) Hopefully, two surface floats at either end acting as guard buoys. These will go in west of Santorini and be set in depths of about 100 m to about 500m at or near the coordinates given in the questionaire. 1.We will install a 3500-lb Dynacon winch on the fantail for use with SWIMS--a 650 lb towfish containing a Sea-Bird CTD. A Dynacon 150 lb, 18 1/2 " diameter sheave will also have to be put on the A-frame. The winch needs 220VAC (+-20VAC), 60 Hz Delta, 50 amp power. 2. We will install a small 200-lb winch at the stern, starboard side. The winch needs 120 VAC, 15 amps power. A small davit, wooden deck box to store the AMPs on deck, and a CCTV camera will also be installed. The davit needs 100 psi, 50 scfm compressed air. 3. We wish to install an iridium antenna for communications and a DF antenna for our AMP instruments. 4. We will need the small rigid-hull inflatable (RIB) boat ready for recovery of our AMP instrument if the tether parts. Moorings We will work near 5 moorings which were set during late August. Whenever we are operating AMP or SWIMS1 Oceanus should not come closer to the moorings than 1/4 mile. Towing SWIMS1 Owing to safety concerns about the winch, the stern must be clear of people during depth cycling. Except during launch and recover, SWIMS1 will be operated remotely from a control station in the main lab, and cycling cannot begin until the stern is clear of people. Depth cycling should be between 10 m and 15 m above the bottom. 20 Oct, Wed : Gregg check in to The Park Hotel in Piraeus 21 Oct, Thu : All APL group except Alford check in to The Park Hotel in Piraeus 22 Oct, Fri : 1000 Oceanus arrive in Piraeus, dock in commercial port 1300 Gregg, Miller & Cookson visit ship to meet Captain and plan loading. Jet lag day for rest of APL group. Expeditor's will deliver one 8-ft by 20-ft sea containers to dock. The containers should be taken off their trailers and set on the dock. 23 Oct, Sat 0830 Start loading. Oceanus agent will provide forklift operator and forklift capable of lifting 4500 pounds. 25 Oct, Mon Gregg to HCMR to return with APL gear on large flatbed truck. 26 Oct, Tue Alford arrive in Piraeus 27 Oct, Wed 1000 Oceanus depart Piraeus for 36o26.948'N, 25o12.964'E 1100: Test ship's new 75 kHz ADCP 1400-1700: Stop enroute to test AMP and SWIMS 28 Oct, Thu 0300 Begin work with first AMP line Continue with SWIMS and AMP lines 17 Nov, Wed 1000-1400 Both watches on deck to recover LongRanger ADCP and 2 MP moorings. After the gear is on deck, we will continue AMP profiling while the gear is being cleaned and packed. Once the stern is clear we can resume towing SWIMS1 if desired. 18 Nov, Thu 1000-1400 Both watches on deck to recover remaining MP mooring and Sentinel ADCP. Expeditor's will deliver two empty 8-ft by 20-ft sea containers to Oceanus berth and set them on the dock. 19 Nov, Fri : 0000 Stop scientific work. 1000 Oceanus dock in Piraeus Oceanus agent will provide forklift and driver. 20 Nov, Sat Finish unloading. May need forklift and driver.
