+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | KNORR CRUISE SYNOPSIS | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Voyage - Leg: KN 188-01 Voyage Dates: 07-27 Feb, 2007 Chief Sci(s): Terry Joyce (Toole) Address: WHOI MS 21 Phone: x2530 Email: tjoyce @whoi.edu Cruise Objective: CLIMODE winter cruise, leg 1 Science Activities: CTDs, microstructure, SeaSoar, Radiosondes, atmos. profiler, spar buoy launch/recovery, float, drifter deployments After departing Woods Hole, ship will steam south to work area, with a nominal first station at 38N, 70W. En route, there will be a test station. An initial 'upstream' (69W) CTD section of ca. 12 stations will be made across the Gulf Stream, with accompanied microstucture casts following each CTD. Some float and drifter deployments will occur. After this section, the compound spar will be deployed, and also a profiling float (EM APEX). During the next ca. 4 days, SeaSoar OPS will take place, followed by several CTDs and microstructure casts, float and drifter deployments. Then another 4 days of SeaSoar OPS will take place, followed by a few CTDs and microstructure stations. Then the ASIS/FILIS compound spar will be recovered as well as the EM APEX float. A CTD section 'downstream' (58W) across the Gulf Stream will be made with microstucture measurements. Throughout the cruise, atmospheric profing will occur with the Doppler Profiler and with radiosonde balloon launches. Also, HiSeasNet will be essential for trtansfer of atmospheric and oceanographic data from shore that are necessary to plan shipboard operations. Water samples will be collected for dissolved oxygen and salinity (analyzed onboard), nutrients (frozen for shorebased analyses), and DIC (preserved for shorebased analysis)/ Underway ADCP, TSG and CO2 sampling will be carried out. Seabeam is needed only for center beam data. Approximately 29 CTD stations are envisioned for leg 1.

UCAR: RASS and Wind Profiler Radiosonde balloons Shipboard Equipment/Nav: Other Requirements: Night Work Anticipated: all operations except mooring Notes: Leg 1: ship loading of van, atmospheric profiler, The UCAR and Gregg groups need 4-5 days prep time. Various groups on board are: Seasoar, ADCP (Frank Bahr, WHOI) CTD/hydrography (Lynne Talley/ODF, Scripps) Carbon measurements (u/w and bottle sampling, Nick Bates, Bermuda) Microstructure (Mike Gregg, UW/APL) ASIS/FILIS compound spar (Jim Edson, U Conn. & John Toole, WHOI, John Kemp mooring ops) Profiling floats (John Lund, Dave Fratantoni, WHOI) Surface Drifters (Rick Lumpkin, AOML, NOAA) Atmospheric profiling (J. Edson/UCAR team) UCAR Equipment will go on the 01 deck. RASS and Wind Profiler require a minimum of a 16-ft by 16-ft area with an unobstructed view of the sky for a 50-ft radius above 8 feet from the ground where it is positioned.* The surface station requires an unobstructed fetch for wind measurement and no shadowing for the solar radiation measurements.* All equipment operates from 220 or 110 Volt, 50 or 60 Hz ac power.* The system requires at least 6.6 KW of power from the ac source if housed in an ISS container and 3 KW of power if installed inside a local laboratory. System trasnmits at 915 mhz and 400mhz ** UCAR will require 50 He cylinders for Radiosondes. 25 stored in hangar and on main deack and 25 on 01 rack. Tanks will be swaped in Bermuda. IMET tower will need to be lowered prior to cruise for J. Edson to mount turbulent flux sensors and newly calibrated IMET sensors. Terry has requested to take the chest freezer in the aft end of main lab off the ship for this cruise. Mooring group will provide deck plan and mooring diagrams. Loading: UCAR equipment: Gear will arrive Jan 30th and loaded on Friday, 02 February (will require Ships crane) Gregg Van - Loaded Fri 2nd - Ship crane will go on 01 deck w/RASS Mooring gear: loaded on Mon/Tue 5th & 6th BBSR gear Mon 5th UCAR and Gregg have request access to the ship to work over the weekend 3&4th.
