Science Objectives | |
This is the fifth major infrastructure deployment and servicing cruise for the Pioneer Array of the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). The Pioneer Array will include a network of moorings and autonomous robotic vehicles to monitor waters of the continental shelf and slope south of New England and, in particular, the shelfbreak front where nutrients and other properties are exchanged between the coast and the deep ocean. Data from the Pioneer Array will provide new insights into coastal ocean processes such as shelf/slope nutrient exchange, air-sea property exchange, carbon cycling, and ocean acidification that are important to the New England shelf, and to continental shelf ecosystems around the world. For further information, see http://www.oceanobservatories.org. | |
- changed The North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES) is an interdisciplinary investigation addressing two primary science goals: (1) Define environmental and ecological controls on plankton communities and (2) Define linkages between ocean ecosystem properties and biogenic aerosols. Within these two broad goals, the NAAMES investigation focuses on identifying environment-ecosystem-aerosol interdependencies in the climate-sensitive North Atlantic. This ocean region hosts the largest annual plankton bloom in the global ocean and its impact on Earth’s radiative balance is particularly sensitive to biogenic aerosol emissions. Specific baseline science objectives of NAAMES are to (1) Characterize plankton ecosystem properties during primary phases of the annual cycle in the North Atlantic and their dependence on environmental forcings, (2) Determine how primary phases of the North Atlantic annual plankton cycle interact to recreate each year the conditions for an annual bloom, and (3) Resolve how remote marine aerosols and boundary layer clouds are influenced by plankton ecosystems in the North Atlantic. These objectives are accomplished by coupling autonomous in situ and satellite measurements sustained throughout the NAAMES investigation with short-term, coordinated ship and airborne campaigns that target critical events in the annual plankton cycle and focus on detailed system characterization. These direct observations are integrated with climate-ecosystem modeling to create a process-based understanding that allows improved interpretation of historical data records and improved predictions of future change. toThis is the fifth major infrastructure deployment and servicing cruise for the Pioneer Array of the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).

Science Activities | |
The Pioneer-5 cruise has multiple main objectives and several ancillary objectives. The main objectives can be grouped into eight categories: 1) Deploy 3 Coastal Surface Moorings (CSMs), 2) Recover 3 CSMs, 3) Deploy 5 Coastal Profiler Moorings (CPMs), 4) Recovery 5 CPMs, 5) Deploy 6 Coastal Gliders, 6) Recover 4 Coastal Gliders, 7) Deploy 2 AUV Docks and associated AUVs, 8) Perform field evaluation activities, including CTD casts with water sampling. The ancillary objectives include 1) Compare buoy and shipboard data, 2) Service 2 Coastal Surface Piercing Profilers (CSPP), 3) Conduct cross-shelf CTD surveys in the vicinity of the moored array, and 4) Conduct surveys using shipboard sensors (ADCP, thermosalinograph) in the Pioneer moored array region. | |
- changed The NAAMES investigation has a duration of 5 years and involves 4 field campaigns. Each field campaign will share a common observation profile. The first campaign will occur in November 2015 and will involve the UNOLS R/V Atlantis. For each campaign, ship-based measurements will be accompanied by aircraft measurements. The aircraft will be a NASA C-130 stationed either from Saint John’s Bay, Canada, or the Lajes Field in the Azores. Global Class Research Vessels, such as the Atlantis, are required for each field campaign due to requirements for foreward deck space for a full-sized aerosols van, deck space for a radioisotope van, and the large scientific complement (34 berths). A global class vessel is also advantageous for the NAAMES project on account of sea-worthiness during field studies that span the annual cycle. Each field campaign involves a 26-day, roughly triangular-shaped ship transect (see uploaded files on transect and stations). The ship’s direction around the transect triangle is scientifically irrelevant, allowing real-time adjustments based on prevailing and forecasted weather conditions and sea-states. Assuming a counterclockwise direction, the ship proceeds from Woods Hole to the turning point at 40° N. During this outbound leg, underway sampling is conducted, but not regular overboard deployments. It would be very beneficial to make at least one stop during the outbound transect to conduct a ‘shake-down’ station of overboard operations. Following the turn northward, the full complement of ship-based measurements begins and continues until the northern-most turning point (~55° N). During this primary latitudinal science leg, daily operations involve a sampling station that begins near dawn and then continues until ~11:00. Station operations will include multiple CTD/Rosette casts, the first of which will be relatively shallow casts (~200 m), followed by a deep cast to ~2000 m. Optical and other instruments mounted on the rosette for the shallow casts but with depth limits <2000 m will need to be removed before the deep cast. Following the deep cast, an additional shallow cast will be conducted for final water sampling and underwater light measurements. Also during station, measurements will be made of downwelling light properties and water leaving radiances. In addition to daily station occupations, 2 stations will be chosen for long-term measurement series (36-48 h). During the long-term stations, a surface lagrangian drifter will be deployed upon arrival at station and then measurements will be conducted over the following occupation while following the trajectory of the drifter. This approach minimizes the impacts of advective processes on measured system changes over the long-term station. Once the primary science transect is complete and the northern-most turning point is reached, the return transect will commence, with continuous in-line measurements conducted until the day before port arrival, but no additional station occupations anticipated. In addition to water sampling and flow through seawater measurements, another key component of the NAAMES investigation is the measurement of aerosols. For this aspect, key measurements will be conducted from the Aersosols Van, located on the forward deck of the ship. Aerosol measurements are conducted continuously while the wind is from the forward direction. These measurement have to be terminated when the wind is from the backward direction, due to contamination from the ship. Thus, it is desired to keep the ship orientation favorable for aerosol samples for the greatest fraction of the time feasible (understanding that ship orientation during overboard castings is dictated by sea state and wire angle). Also during the field campaigns, deployments will be made of five autonomous profiling floats and surface drifters. Deployments will occur along the N-S primary latitudinal science transect, with exact location dependent on station location and real-time information on regional mesoscale eddies. Surface drifter deployments will target mesoscale eddy centers and will provide water parcel tracking capabilities that inform flight patterns for the C-130. Airborne deployments accompanying the ship measurements will focus on the primary N-S latitudinal transect. The airborne measurements include in situ aerosol sampling and remote sensing measurements with a hyperspectral ocean color sensor, a high resolution lidar, a polarimeter, and a downwelling irradiance sensor. Aircraft measurements need to be highly coordinated with the ship, so regular communications between the two platforms is essential. The NAAMES team gained considerable experience conducting successful ship-aircraft campaigns during the previous 2012 Azores campaign and the 2014 SABOR campaign. Aircraft measurements begin shortly after takeoff, and continue during the transect to the ship. Once arriving at the ship, a diversity of flight patterns are followed to characterize horizontal and vertical variability in ocean ecosystem and aerosol properties. The aircraft transect will also include fly-overs of regions previously sampled by the ship, as tracked by the surface drifters. These drifters essentially provide a ‘bread crumb trail’ that allows the aircraft to follow changes in system properties well after the ship has departed a given sampling station. One the primary science measurements are complete along the ship transect, the aircraft returns to base. to The Pioneer-5 cruise has multiple main objectives and several ancillary objectives.

The following is a list of all major items used in support of the Kraken2 (K2) ROV: 1) Kraken2 (K2) ROV w/tool skid: 48"W x 96"L x 72"H ~ 2,300 lbs 2) ROV Control Van: 8'W x 20'L x 8‐1/2'H ~ 12,000 lbs max. 3) Oceanographic Winch: 8'W x 6‐1/2'D x 6‐1/2'H ~ 5,500 lbs 4) Hydraulic Pressure Unit (HPU): 56‐1/2"W x 41"D x 75"H ~ 1,750 lbs 5) Sheave for Umbilical: 36" diameter x 15"W 6) ROV Depressor Frame: 22"W x 45"L x 50‐1/2"H ~ 1,050 lbs 7) Deck Storage Totes (quantity 4): 43"L x 28"W x 20"H ~ stackable on deck Power Requirements: 1) The ROV control van is wired for 208VAC Three Phase and has a maximum load of 80 Amps at 120 Volts, or 80 * 120 = 9600 VA per leg. For three legs, the total is 3 * 9600 = 28800 VA or 28.8 kVA. The actual load under realistic conditions is typically on the order of 75A max. An isolation transformer can be provided to accommodate 460VAC if 208 is unavailable. The transformer is approximately 36"W x 24"D x 36"H ~ 550lbs in weight. The K2 ROV is powered from the control van so no additional power is required for this unit. 2) The HPU is wired for 208VAC Three Phase although it can accommodate either 208VAC Three Phase or 460VAC Three Phase power ~ whichever is readily available. In practice, this unit is typically supported by a 100A, 208VAC Three Phase service capable of handling the peak starting power of this unit (see below). The three‐phase motor for the HPU is rated at 30 horsepower (HP) with an efficiency of 92.4% or 24.2 kVA with the motor running at rated load. The motor nameplate lists it as a code letter "G" motor which would have a peak starting power is between 5.6 and 6.29 kVA per HP. Assuming an average (5.6 + 6.29) / 2 = 5.95 kVA per HP. Then, for a 30 HP motor the peak starting power is 5.95 * 30 = 178.5 kVA. For more | |||||||||||
