Note: Agent and WHOI contacts should be copied on all communications. It is requested that shipment information of any equipment be communicated to the Agent and WHOI contacts Arrival Port: Piraievs, Greece Agent: SHIP Installed or Normally 3.5 kHz and 12 kHz bathymetry system (Knudsen) Carried Equipment: critical ADCP - 75 kHz ADCP - 150 kHz (both critical for backscatter) CTD/rosette system - Dual sensors O2 and conductivity critical -sulfide and nitrate sensors if available 10-liter Niskin bottles Deionized water system Salinometer (need sample bottles, quantity 12-24? and standards, quantity 3?) Fume hood Refrigerator Chest freezer -70 deg freezer Box corer (03/26 BD) Pinger for wire use Relay transponder for wire use Doppler/GPS navigation MET sensors standard Dual O2 and Conductivity sensors for CTD requested as backup due to Virginia's critical measurements Joan/Virginia and SSSG will look into availability of Oxygen-Sulfide & Nitrate sensors for CTD Ginny expects 30-50 casts of 10x24 L Niskins Use of ship's crane with crutch needed for Joan's coring Can ADCP provide the data needed for locating the Halocline? They need backscatter data to identify. A requets has been made by scientist to keep refrigeratred samples until arrival n Woods Hole (~ 2 gal quantity) SSSG will look into adding depressor weights for lowering of SID Instrument (03/26 BD) WHOI-Provided Equipment: .322 Conducting hydro wire for CTD and SID Instrument (03/26 BD) 9/16" Trawl Wire for Soutar and MC800 Coring 20 ft.
