Installed Scientific   PDR
Equipment:             ADCP
                       Deionized Water System
                       CTD/Rosette System
                       10 Liter - Niskin Bottle
                       Fume Hood

                       IMET Sensors
                       XBT System
WHOI-Provided Science  Critical IMET sensors: PAR, wind speed and dir,
Tools:                 pressure, humidity, air and sea temp, salinity,
                       fluorescence

                       Critical CTD sensors: temp, cond, transmissometer,
                       fluorometer, oxygen
Program-Provided       Spectroradiometer (SPMR)
Science Tools:         Net Tows ~50 lbs to 50 meters depth
Shipboard
Equipment/Nav:
Other Requirements:    CTD to 4000 meter Depth
Notes:                 A small amount of equipment will be left on the ship
                       to be picked up at WHOI on its return.

                       I plan to use the HRPT station to recieve realtime
                       AVHRR sea surface temperature imagaery. I request 2
                       extra PCs be available for science use.

                       Would like to request at least 1 standalone niskin
                       bottle and
                       messenger so I can show how data used to be
                       collected

                       Spectroradiometer (SPMR) consists of a float and
                       free fall device that is hand launched and recovered
                       from the vessel. Depth is usually 150 meters.

                       Interactive teaching software "WebCT" Allows for a
                       interactive web based classroom aboard.

                       Liquid Nitrogen 30L Dewar to be filled before
                       departure
