Are there special considerations of the science party or cruise scheduling?
Consider science time constraints; coordination of equipment shipping;
two-ship operations; weather windows; mooring turn-around; teaching schedules
and others that will affect scheduling decisions.
-------------------------------------------------
In order to address our objectives, we propose a 45-day research cruise plus
transit time on the R/V Thompson in February-March 2004, between scheduled
cruises for S2S GOP shelf studies by Nittrouer, Ogston, and Sternberg. Monsoon
conditions at that season produce relatively placid conditions offshore that
are most suitable for science operations. The first third of the cruise (15
days) would be devoted to a detailed acoustic survey of the Ashmore and Pandora
Troughs. The last two thirds of the cruise (30 days) would be dedicated to a
program of sediment and water column sampling, the former by box and piston
coring at sites targeted during the earlier survey effort.
