Notes -

Operations will consist of side-scan sonar work, CHIRP and Uniboom

seismic-reflection profiling, benthic coring, sifting and sampling,

ROV surveys, scuba diving surveys, weather studies, rawindsonde

launches, bird surveys, deep-sea current meter retrieval/placement

and plankton trawls.

Operational Plans

The following plans can only be considered a guide as to how the

to predict weather, operations, scheduling problems and equipment

failures:

a)  Benthic Coring/Side-Scan Sonar/CHIRP/Uniboom:

Benthic cores will be taken in water depth not exceeding 300

meters with a box corer.  Core samples will be analyzed and

stored.  At each coring site, a SeaCats cast using the

McArthur's SeaCats is requested.

A sub-surface profiler fish, the "CHIRP," will be towed before

and during coring operations.   At other times, the CHIRP will

be used exclusive of the Coring operations.  (A Uniboom may be

aboard during parts of the cruise as a backup to the CHIRP.

Side scan surveys will be conducted by USGS personnel.

One of the analysis performed will be with a Gamma-ray

Attenuation Porosity Evaluator (GRAPE), which uses a Cs-137

gamma-ray source.  The personnel bringing this equipment aboard

will provide a copy of his/her NRC permit, and the associated

safety protocol and precautions.  The NRC permit holder will be

soley responsible for the safe operation and storage of the

GRAPE device.

b)  Benthic Organisms:

Working in conjunction with the coring project above,

biologists from UCSC will be on board to opportunistically

sample organisms that come to the surface in the cores.

c)  ROV:

An ROV from NASA-Ames will be used for stereo video transects

over the tops and sides of 3-6 offshore pinnacles along the Big

Sur coast. These will provide baseline data on biodiversity,

distributions and abundances of larger invertebrates, algae and

rockfishes.  The ROV has a 340m tether and is controlled from

the ship. Two pinnacles will be examined on each of three days.

The ROV data will also be used to select dive sites for the

second leg.

d)  SCUBA Diving:

With data from the ROV dives as a guide, the six offshore

pinnacles between Pt. Pinos and Big Creek will be surveyed for

biodiversity, using photography and collection/abundance

measurements of organisms.  Dives will be between depths of

30-100'.  We estimate 6 dives per pinnacle (site), for a total

of 36 dives for the project.  A dive plan approved by the

Director of the NOAA Diving Program will be provided to the

ship before any research dives are conducted.  The dive plan

will include the names of all potential divers.  Ship divers

may be asked to participate in these dives.

e)  Weather:

Three 24-hour periods are required to sample diurnal cycles in

the near coastal winds.  Sampling consists of surface

meteorological observations and Rawinsonde launches at

intervals of 1-3 hours.  Prior to ship departure, scientists

will mount sensors on the ship at locations relatively free

from superstructure.  A drifting buoy may be launched as part

of this project.  During the second leg, Rowinsonde launches

will also be made as time permits.

f)  Plankton Study:

Plankton trawls will be conducted opportunistically.  The

plankton nets can be hand operated, but easier from a small

winch.  They consist of metal rings 0,5 or 1.0 meters in

diameter plus a 2-meter long mesh bag.

g)  Deep-Sea Current Meter:

This work will consist of:

1)  Acoustically communicating with the current meter at

36.45N, 122.63W and sending its release command with an

over-the-side transducer,

2)  Picking up the current meter string upon location at the

surface,

3)  Deploying a replacement current meter string to be brought

aboard,

4)  Survey-in and communicate with the current meter, so that

we are assured of successful functioning.

The mooring is in about 3200 m of water.  The mooring anchor

will stay on the bottom and the mooring will float to the

surface sans anchor.  There is only about 50 m of mooring cable

which can be faked on the deck.  The recovery will require use

of the deck capstan to pull the mooring up over the A-frame

from the surface.

h)  Bird Surveys:

Systematic observations of the distributions, abundances,

behavior and correlated environmental conditions will be made

opportunistically during daylight hours, using personnal

binoculars as well as the ship's 25x150 instrument mounted on

the flying bridge.

Itinerary

Leg I:

March 28  Arrive San Francisco (Pier 30 @ 0900 to fuel;

depart pier 30 at 1500; tie up at pier 35 at 1600.),

begin staging for cruise.  Complete all staging

by close of business on 31 March.

March 30  Pre-Cruise meeting on board McArthur at 1300 hours

with principal first leg researchers and ship command.

April 2  Depart San Francisco at 0800 for first coring station

off Ano Nuevo

April 2 - April 11

1)  Coring and CHIRP seismic-reflection profiling operations

24hrs/day.

2)  Biologists sort cores for organisms.

3)  SeaCats cast at each coring site.

April 11  Evening - Put in at Coast Guard Wharf in Monterey

to offload equipment;  Alternative is to ferry personnel

from Monterey or Santa Cruz Harbor.  (Note that it may

not be possible to use the aft crane to unload gear

in Monterey because of the pier design.  Furthermore,

weather may prevent the ship from reaching the pier.

Therefore, plans should be made to unload only gear

which can be hand carried.)

April 12 - April 14

1)  Day: conduct ROV dives on Pinnacles along Big Sur Coast

(from Carmel (36 o 40'N) to Big Creek (aprox 36 o 50'N).)

2)  Night: continue CHIRP seismic-reflection profiling

operations.

3)  Conduct opportunistic plankton trawls.

April 15  Dock in Monterey in early morning.

Transfer personnel and equipment; depart Monterey by 0900.

(Note that it may not be possible to use the aft crane

to unload gear in Monterey because of the pier design.

Furthermore, weather may prevent the ship from reaching

the pier.  Therefore, plans should be made to unload

only gear which can be hand carried.)

Notes from USGS Bulletin

Brian Edwards, Rob Kayen, and others from USGS, on Monday completed a

marathon box-coring program on the Monterey Bay Sanctuary shelf, collecting

a total of 108 box cores.  Brian and Hank Chezar continued on NOAA's ship

McArthur for a several-day program to biologically explore the "Pinnicles"

area, southwest of Monterey, with a new ROV of NASA's, where they hope to

help NASA and ourselves learn of the utility of their new ROV, with an eye

to future use.  Jim Gardner, one of the architects of this sampling and ROV

program, looked on from the shoreline (or from his porch in Montara),

domiciled for the week with homemaker duties.

MBNMS Sampling Begins:  The Monterey Bay National Marine

Sanctuary (MBNMS) Project recently completed 9+ days of bottom

sampling on the continental shelf between the Golden Gate and

Carmel and 3 days of ROV work on pinnacles off the Pt. Sur coast.

During the sampling work, we occupied 108 stations as part of a

cooperative effort between BUSGS, EPA, NOAA, Calif. Dept. Fish &amp;

Game (CDFG), and the UCSC biology department.  We sited sampling

locations in a randomly located statistical pattern developed in

conjunction with EPA's EMAP design criteria.  Box core samples were

collected for sedimentological (BUSGS), pollution (BUSGS &amp; CDFG), and

macro- and micro-biological (USGS &amp; UCSC) studies.  As appropriate,

box cores were sub-cored with the Kayen subsampling device and

sub-cores were analyzed on-board with the Schultheiss Whole-core

Logging System.  All other analyses will be completed in shore-

based laboratories.  In addition, we collected CHIRP high-resolution

seismic-reflection profiles between sample sites as well as in

three small surveys off the San Lorenzo, Pajaro, and Salinas Rivers

in an effort to map recent flood deposits.  We recovered distinct, but

thin flood layer deposits (very soupy, highly oxidized muds) three to

five miles offshore of the river mouths (&lt; 0.5 cm thick off the San

Lorenzo, and about 2 cm thick off the Pajaro and Salinas rivers).

These deposits were too thin to be resolved by the CHIRP system.

NOAA provided the free ship-time on their "Class III" 175-foot-long

McARTHUR and organized a press conference and dignitary walk-

through of the McARTHUR at the end of the sampling leg.

We coordinated the ROV work between NASA and the UCSC biologists

as preparation for UCSC diver surveys of pinnacles off the Pt. Sur

coast.  NASA's interest in this effort was 1) to use their small 250

pound vehicle in open ocean conditions and 2) to explore the

potential for future cooperative research with BUSGS scientists.  The

NASA ROV vehicle lacks on-board navigation - a significant

operational limitation.  The vehicle, however, is small,

maneuverable, has excellent video resolution, and can be used from

small boats with 110 VAC (both 30 amp and 20 amp) circuits.  Dual

forward-looking cameras with pan-and-tilt capability allow 3-D

viewing, an arguable plus for driving the vehicle but fun when using

the "virtual reality" helmet.  The operator can select either forward-

looking or downward-looking images for tape recording.  The 1000-

foot-long tether produced significant drag in currents and required

anchoring McARTHUR at each station; hence limiting our operational

depth to about 45 meters.  In all, the ROV has potential given

appropriate project needs.

Our thanks to MARFAC for squeezing this operation into their very

busy April schedule.  Amazing how they continually juggle, address,

and meet competing needs for personnel and equipment.  Mobilizing

in San Francisco and demobilizing in Monterey made their work that

much more difficult.  Larry Kooker and Walt Olson provided their

usual stellar service.  Rob Kayen filled in for Jim Gardner at the last

minute - Jim owes Rob big-time!  My thanks also to Mike Torresan,

Peter Dartnell, Fran Hostettler, Kaye Kinoshita, and Leda Beth Gray.

Thanks, Brian.
