14. Give a brief description of the area of operations and type of work to be done and science objective:

The primary objective of this project is the recovery and deployment of 3 Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) moorings in support of the NOAA Real Time Tsunami Warning system. At the established DART sites, 46°38'15" N 170°47'24" W , 50°26'31" N 165°01'41" W & 52°38'60" N 156°55'41" W the surface mooring will be serviced and the bottom anchored instrument package will be recovered and redeployed.

Operational Plan Description

15. Operational plan: Cruise Tracks and Station Locations. Please provide as complete a description as possible. Include with this plan, or separately, a complete list of stations with ID, Latitude, Longitude, depth and other information such as type of sampling/operations as appropriate. Use the text box below or upload separate documents as needed.

DART Buoy Exchange Deck Procedure.wpd 10983 bytes

Operational Plan Description

3 DART buoy stations will be exchanged in this mission. Station locations and water depths are as follows: 52°38'60"N / 156°55'41"W / 4510 Meters 50°26'31"N / 165°01'41"W / 4900 Meters 46°38'15"N / 170°47'24"W / 5530 Meters DART systems consist of an anchored seafloor bottom pressure recorder (BPR) and a companion moored surface buoy for real-time communications. An acoustic link transmits data from the BPR on the seafloor to the surface buoy. The data are then relayed via a GOES satellite link to ground stations, which demodulate the signals for immediate dissemination to NOAA's Tsunami Warning Centers. A suggested cruise track is attached in jpeg format. Also attached is a suggested buoy deck procedure. Variations to this procudure may be exercised based on ship deck configuration.

Will the vessel be operating within 200 miles of a foreign country?   No

16. Will you be contacting Native communities to inform them of your intended icebreaker research activities?  No

17. Will Marine Mammal Protection Act, NEPA or Endangered Species Act consultation or permitting be required?  No

18a. Cruise Plan and Description of Operations:
Provide as much detail as possible about the type of operations and sampling to be conducted, daily schedule and hours of operation, type of equipment to be used and any other information that will help us prepare for this cruise. Use additional pages or send corrected drafts as necessary. If this is a multi-investigator cruise, please include a list of Co-PI's who will be submitting operational science plans:

Team is to arrive at each DART station and exchange the surface buoy and Bottom unit as described in the attached procedure. Opon retrieval of the surface buoy, the upper section of mooring will be inspected for damage. It is not expected, however the potential for a complete mooring replacement exist if damage or signifigant wear is dectected. Following the exchange 3 rounds of ground truth data will be collected before departing the station. While in transit to next station, the previously retrieved equipment will be serviced and refurbished for deployment at the next station. The hours of operation will be those of opportunity including possible night work.
