Science Activities | |
This field work involves the deployment of various tethered and non-tethered oceanographic equipment for the collection of physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic data. Specific objectives of the field work that will be conducted on each of the 3 legs of this mission includes: Leg 1 – MAR AZMP: Embark: Halifax, Nova Scotia. Disembark: Sydney, Nova Scotia 1) CTD/Rosette deployments for the collection of vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, conductivity/salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence (chlorophyll), colored dissolved organic matter fluorescence (CDOM), turbidity, pH, and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR). Surface PAR will also be collected. Water samples will be collected at standard depths for measurements of nutrients, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, carbonate chemistry (total alkalinity, total inorganic carbon, pCO2, pH), particulate organic carbon/nitrogen and HPLC. 2) Vertical ring net tows for the collection of zooplankton samples 3) 2 Argo float deployments 4) Use of the vessel-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) for measurement of ocean currents 5) Collection of continuous surface TSG and carbonate chemistry (pH, total alkalinity, pCO2) measurements using the ship’s underway system, including phytoplankton imaging with a IFCB provided by WHOI 6) Use of the vessel’s multibeam system

Storage Notes: We require 3 ultra-cold (-70) and -20 freezer space for sample storage, as well as ample refrigeration space. Use of the ship's deionized water system will be required for the production of ~400 litres of deionized water. The ship's nitrogen system will also be used for the production of liquid nitrogen, that will be used to top up several liquid nitrogen dewars at regular intervals. | |||||||||||

Winch Notes:
For Legs 1 and 3, vertical ring net tows will be conducted using the hydro winch with 0.25 inch hydrowire. This system consists of a 4 m net with 0.75 m opening and 202 micron mesh that is affixed to the hydrowire using a custom crossbow system. There is a bookend clamp that is used to affix the cod end to the net so that it maintains a vertical structure during ascent and descent, and a 25 kg weight is added to the bottom of the system (total system weight in air is ~50 kg). The net is vertically towed from the surface to near-bottom or 1000 m, whichever is shallower. Therefore, at least ~1200 m of wire is required. An image or video of the system can be provided upon request. For Leg 2 (NL AZMP) uses a dual-202 micron net system that does not utilize a crossbow system. This setup uses a custom dual frame with single pickup point in the middle of both nets, and a weight is attached to the bottom of the frame to keep the nets in a vertical orientation. For Leg 3, an Hydrobios Multinet Sampler of 0.25m2 with 200 micron mesh net will be deployed. The instrument weighes ~150 kg and and is 7 m in height. The instrument is deployed vertically down to 1000 m ideally using an EM cable. During a previous mission on the Atlantis this instrument was lowered over the side of the vessel using the aft-crane and was then connected to the CTD/Rosette cable for its operation in the water. | |||||||||||

For Leg 3, an Hydrobios Multinet Sampler of 0.25m2 with 200 micron mesh net will be deployed. The instrument weighes ~150 kg and and is 7 m in height. The instrument is deployed vertically down to 1000 m ideally using an EM cable. During a previous mission on the Atlantis this instrument was lowered over the side of the vessel using the aft-crane and was then connected to the CTD/Rosette cable for its operation in the water. on Feb 11, 2022 3:26 PM by Christopher T.

Details:
We have made the request for a TSE winch and block through the UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool to conduct mooring operations (deployment and retrieval) from the R/V Atlantis A-frame. NL AZMP leg 2 requires a buoy to be deployed using the aft-mounted A-frame. Drifters will be deployed over the side of the vessel, starboard or port, and can freefall into the water from deck height, similarly to the Argo floats. | |||||||||||

Specialized tech support (Seabeam, coring, other): We will conduct 24 hour operations, with 2 x 12 hour shifts from 6 - 6 (MAR AZMP Leg 1 and AZOMP Leg 3) and 12 - 12 (NL AZMP Leg 2). This could be adjusted to accommodate meal times or other ship operations. Primary operations for the majority of the mission will consist of CTD/Rosette deployment, vertical ring net tows, and Multinet tows. The deployment of 17 Argo floats will occur during the mission. These are normally done off the stern of the vessel, and may require assistance from the ship's tech on duty. A rope is normally used to gently lower the float over the side of the vessel, where it is then let go once it touches the surface. | |||||||||||
