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.
-------------------------------------------------
Ideally we'd like to operate in a weather window since this is an instrument
test.

-----------------------
Primary goal: Testing Carbon Flux Explorer and Optical sediment trap systems.
We will be deploying/tracking/recovering a free vehicle called "Carbon Flux
Explorer". It consists of an ARGO-style profiling float mated to a similarly
sized optical sediment recorder. We will also be deploying an optical sediment
trap system which will operate at 150-300 m tethered below a surface buoy. Both
systems are GPS located and communicate via Iridium satellite system. We
require a ship-to-shore email /network link for tracking. Need appropriate
handling system for deployment and recovery of both. We will conduct limited
CTD casts for optical sensor testing.
