Phoebe Lam (WHOI MCG) will be bringing WHOI pumps, winch, and covered wire for collection of particulate samples. Ship's compressed air will be needed to run seawater pumps, 30-50psi is needed (10/26-JD) JASON Installed or Normally Carried Equipment: Science Party-Provided Equipment: Notes: Other Notes: 220V for science equipment, load some gear in Sept 07, leave samples/gear until return to US port Spill kits for mercury, acids, and radioactivity (radcon) will be brought in case of a spill. Area will be decontaminated according to specific protocols and personal protective gear will be worn. Hazardous chemicals and wastes will be stowed in chemical storage van and disposed of upon return to US/WHOI port in early 2008. MS (20070917): Science will provide their own oxygen titration system- this is not WHOI (Swartz/Wellwood) provided. Science-requested SBE9 CTD sensors include: - SBE43 oxygen, 6000m depth max, presently installed. - WETLabs transmissometer, 6000m depth max, not installed. - WETLabs fluorometer, 6000m depth max, not installed. - Biospherical PAR and surface PAR (SPAR), with the PAR limited to 1000m depth MAX, neither installed, but PAR presently aboard. ** WHEN PAR IS MOUNTED, THE ROSETTE CAN GO NO DEEPER THAN 1000m MAX. ** - Scientists will provide a Nitrate (NO3) sensor to be attached to a free port on the CTD, using scientists' provided cable and mount. "salinity" and "density" are properties derived from the existing sensors and should not be specified here. "irradiance" is measured by the PAR sensors. The SBE9 will require different cables on the AD channels to accomodate the requested sensors. These will be sent with the transmissometer and flourometer sensors and installed by the SSSG tech. The .con file must be rebuilt at that time to reflect new sensor arrangements to the input channels. Underwater PAR is onboard Knorr but not installed. The 24x10 rosette has a PAR mount. Status of surface PAR (SPAR) cable from main lab to mounting location, and type of connector at end, must be checked. [end] Van loaded in St. John's to starboard location to be moved to the 01 deck at the end of the cruise. Following cruise will not need 01 deck and access to van interiors not required. (10/26-JD) As this is a trace metal cruise, no paint chipping is requested. (10/26-JD) Trace Metal Bubbles/clean rooms will be set up in the main lab (10/26-JD) SSSG Tech: Check List: Required?
