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.
-------------------------------------------------
Dates firm in schedule. Scientific party 22 Philippines 9 US 3 resident techs 4
Philippines observers, total 38. Full complement of resident techs needed given
training aspect of the cruise. Web access to cruise prospectus available on
request, contact chief scientist.
Intermediate port stops: Manila 11/29 Iloilo 12/18 Cebu 12/26. Docking
necessary in Manila to load equipment. Off harbor mooring and small boat
transfer of personnel desirable in Iloilo to reduce visibility of US flag ship.

Please explain:
---------------
The purpose of this cruise, part of the ONR-funded "Archipelago Dynamics DRI",
is to to provide opportunities for marine scientists from Philippines
Institutions, to conduct an observational program to quantify the mesoscale
bio-physical interactions in the Philippines straits system. Measurements of
the near-surface mesoscale circulation are planned using hydrography, shipboard
ADCP and EM-APEX floats. Water properties measurements will include nutrients,
pigment, phyto- and zoo-plankton sampling. Coring will be perfomed to assess
the signatures in the sediments. These observations will be used to describe
quantitatively the interactions between the atmospheric forcing, the physical
response of the ocean, and the corresponding bio-geochemical processes.
Additionally, moored instruments and drifting buoys will be deployed in
preparation for the subsequent Intensive Observation Period of the ONR DRI. The
emphasis will be on training young scientists and students from Philippines
institutions in the various observing techniques.

Use of Hazardous Materials? _ No X Yes
If Yes, List type, quantity, and disposal plans:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radioactive? Type: C14 Quantity: total 1 mCi - 1
microCi/sample
Disposal Plan:
--------------
Photosynthetic rates will be determined at selected stations. Sampling depths
will correspond to light levels of 100, 50, 10, and 1% of the surface
irradiance.
Photosynthetic rates and primary productivity will be measured using the
isotopic (14C) tracer method established by Steemann Nielsen [1952] and
improved by Evans et al. [1987] and Ning et al. [1988]. Water samples taken
from each light level will be used to fill two light bottles and one dark
bottle of 300 mL. To each bottle, NaH14CO3 will be added and the bottles placed
in a plastic bin on the ship’s deck and incubated for about 6 hours (from noon
to sunset). Sieves with a gradient of neutral light intensity will be used to
achieve a range of incubation light intensities that correspond to the original
sampling depths. A seawater circulation system will be used to maintain the in
situ temperature. After incubation, the water samples will be filtered; the
filters fumed over concentrated HCl, dried, and preserved in the dark. Counts
will be made by using a liquid scintillation counter, requested.
Disposal plan to be specified by ship operator.
