**[Cruise Objectives]{.underline}** - Cruise Objectives --

Ecosystems & Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations
(Eco-FOCI) is an effort by National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and associated academic scientists. Eco-FOCI's
goal is to understand the effects of abiotic and biotic variability on
ecosystems of the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea This cruise is in
support of research sponsored by NOAA's North Pacific Climate Regimes &
Ecosystem Productivity Program, the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB),
the Alaskan Ocean Observing System (AOOS), and PMEL/AFSC base.

The primary purpose of this cruise is to observe the ecosystem of the
eastern Bering Sea. Operations will primarily consist of hydrographic
measurements (with samples for oxygen, chlorophyll, nutrients, and
salinity); and zooplankton sampling using MARMAP bongo tows.

3.  **OPERATIONS**

    1.  **[Responsibilities]{.underline}**

**[3.1.1 Master]{.underline}** -- The ship's Master shall be in sole
command of the vessel and shall be responsible for the welfare of all
personnel on board. The Master shall be the final authority in matters
relating to the safety, proper navigation, stability, and sailing
condition of the vessel and shall execute each voyage with the utmost
dispatch.

The Master shall inform the Chief Scientist as soon as possible of any
changes in the program necessitated by events. In the case of emergency,
nothing in these instructions shall be construed as preventing the
Master from taking the most effective action, which in the Master's
judgment, will rectify the situation causing the emergency, and;
thereby, safeguard life, property, and the ship.

The Master will have the authority to abort operations temporarily on
the basis of clear and present danger to life and property at sea, and
will inform the Chief Scientist as soon as safe conditions permit. Full
details of the action taken, rationale, and recommendations will be
provided at the earliest opportunity. Under normal operating conditions,
the Master shall not take any mission-aborting action without
consultation with the Chief Scientist.

**[3.1.2 Chief Scientist]{.underline}** -- The Chief Scientist is
responsible for executing the technical portion of the scientific
mission specified by these instructions. Responsibilities also include:

1\. Comportment of visiting scientists and technicians,

2\. Disposition of data, feedback on data quality, and archiving of data
and specimens collected,

3\. Administration and physical handling of all scientific party
hazardous materials,

4\. Assignment of berthing for the scientific party,

5\. Cleanliness of all berthing, laboratory, and storage spaces used by
the scientific party,

6\. Delivery of medical and emergency contact forms for the scientific
party, and

7\. With the Master, safe, efficient, and economical use of shipboard
resources to support the embarked mission.

The Chief Scientist has the authority to revise or alter the technical
portion of the instructions as work progresses provided that after
consultation with the Master, it is ascertained that the proposed
changes will not:

1\. Jeopardize the safety of personnel or the ship,

2\. Exceed the overall time allotted for the project,

3\. Resulting undue additional expenses, or

4\. Alter the general intent of these project instructions.

2.  **[Data To Be Collected]{.underline}** -- This cruise will primarily
    be a hydrographic cruise, collecting CTD data and Bongo samples
    along 5 transects on the Bering Sea shelf and in a region southwest
    of St. George Island where we have seen density inversions in the
    past. Details on the transects are provided in section 3.4 below. We
    will use the ship's CTD but will bring our own bongo nets. The bongo
    uses a SeaCat profiler in real-time mode to determine depth and
    measure hydrographic properties and therefore needs to be on
    conducting cable.

We will take nutrient and chlorophyll samples from the CTD casts.
Nutrient samples will be analyzed aboard the ship, and chlorophyll
samples will be frozen for analysis in Seattle. We will also take water
samples to calibrate the conductivity and oxygen sensors. One or two
scientists from Princeton will study dissolved O~2~ . They would like to
bring a membrane inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS) as an underway system to
measure levels of dissolved O~2~, Ar, N~2~ and CO~2,~ but may not be
able to bring the instrument; if not then only one scientist would come
from Princeton.

In addition, we will deploy two ARGO floats in water near 2000m deep
during the initial transit from Dutch Harbor to the Pribilof Islands.

We request the ship's computer files of the following data:

-   ADCP data

-   Navigation data on position, speed and heading, and water depth

-   Weather observations

    -   Sea-chest measurements of salinity, temperature, and chlorophyll
        fluorescence

    1.  **[Staging Plan]{.underline}** -- We plan to use the ship's CTD
        and salinometer for the hydrographic measurements and salinity
        calibration.

We plan to load the following gear while the ship is in Seattle: 1)
Bongo nets and sample jars 2) ARGO floats 3) A crate containing items
such as office supplies, float coats, boots, and foul-weather gear.

The remaining gear is either not available in time to be loaded in
Seattle, or is hazardous material. These items will be loaded in Dutch
Harbor. Scientists will arrange for the items to be delivered to the
ship in Dutch Harbor. The gear to be loaded in Dutch Harbor is: 1) The
nutrient analyzer and oxygen titration system, including necessary
chemicals 2) Formaldehyde and sodium borate used to preserve samples
from net tows 3) SeaCat and deck unit to be used with the bongo nets and
4) The MIMS (membrane inlet mass spectrometer), if the Princeton
scientists are able to bring it.

**[De-staging Plan]{.underline}** -- Since the ship is returning to
Seattle from Dutch Harbor immediately after our cruise, we request that
we be allowed to leave non-hazardous equipment aboard to be off-loaded
in Seattle. Hazardous material such as unused chemicals will offloaded
in Dutch Harbor.

2.  **[Cruise Plan]{.underline}** -- See Table 1 for a list of stations
    and Figure 1 for a plot of their locations.. Also see Table 2; a
    list of the present positions of the moorings we will be near during
    the cruise. We will not deploy or recover any moorings; the list is
    included so we will avoid unintentionally snagging one of them. The
    Miller Freeman will be recovering and re-deploying the moorings
    during the time of the PMEL cruise on the Thompson, and we will need
    to get updates of these positions as they re-deploy the moorings.

The cruise will depart Dutch Harbor on September 24. As our first
operation we will deploy two ARGO floats in deep water during the
transit to the Pribilof Islands. Next we plan to spend up to a day in
the region south and southwest of the Pribilof Islands. In the past, we
have seen density inversions in CTDs from depths between 100 and 200m at
stations southwest of St. George Island. The Miller Freeman was
scheduled to be in that region just before us and we planned to learn
from them whether they saw inversions. Their schedule has been changed
and that may not happen, but we will probably still devote up to a day
to studying the spatial extent and persistence of density inversions in
the area. We only listed one location in the table for the inversions
since our plan for studying them will depend on what we find there.

As stated above, the focus of the cruise is the collection of CTDs along
5 transects. Four of the transects run from depths offshore near 100 m
to depths onshore near 30m. The longest transect runs along the 70m
depth contour, starting at 62N, just south of St. Lawrence Island and
ending at Mooring 2 just south of 57N. We plan to occupy the CTD
stations in the order listed in Table 1. We will do a CTD at every
station and we will collect water samples at every CTD. Along most
transects, we will do a bongo at every other station, with additional
bongos to ensure we sample at the ends of the lines. However, we will do
a bongo at every station along the 70m contour. See Table 1 for sites
where we will do bongos. We may also do a few vertical (CalVet net)
tows, but none are yet scheduled.

3.  **[Station Operations]{.underline}** - The following are operations
    to be conducted on this cruise.

Station operations are standard, except that the CTD and bongo will be
deployed from the same location. Therefore, scientists will need to
ensure that the instrument not being deployed is out of the way and will
not interfere with operations and that there is enough slack in its
cable. More detailed reminders of CTD and bongo operations are listed
below.

**3.5.1 [CTD/Water Sample Operations]{.underline}:**

We request the ship's Sea-Bird Electronics' SBE 911plus Conductivity,
Temperature, and Depth (CTD) profiler with dual temperature and
conductivity sensors for the CTD system. We request that the CTD be
additionally equipped with a Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)
sensor and fluorometer. If the ship cannot provide these sensors, then
FOCI will provide the fluorometer and PAR light meter to be mounted on
the CTD stand for all casts. FOCI's fluorometer and PAR instruments
cannot exceed the following depths:

• WETLabs' WETStar fluorometer cannot exceed 600 meters, and

• Biospherical Instruments' QSP-200L4S light meter cannot exceed 1000
meters.

Ship's personnel will operate the winch, CTD deck unit and computer.
Scientists will help deploy and recover the CTD, and will keep the CTD
Cast Information/Rosette Log. Pressure, primary salinity, secondary
salinity, primary temperature, secondary temperature, fluorescence, and
light levels will be recorded on the CTD Cast Information/Rosette Log
for all water bottle samples. Scientists will also take water samples
once the CTD is on deck. We will take a sample to calibrate the oxygen
sensor from one bottle on every cast, and a salinity calibration sample
from one bottle every other cast, unless we find we need more frequent
samples.

The CTD should be deployed and then lowered to 10 meters and held at
that depth while the technician and scientists return to the computer
lab. The deck unit should be turned on and the CTD held at 10m until the
pump starts up. Then the CTD can be brought up to just below the
surface, and the data acquisition program started. The CTD should
descend at a rate of 30 meters per minute for the first 200 meters and
45-50 meters per minute below that. The CTD should stop at 5m above the
bottom. The ascent rate should be 50 meters per minute.

An entry in the Marine Observation Abstract (MOA) should be made for
each CTD cast at the maximum cast depth..

**3.5.2** [**Oxygen, salinity**, **Chlorophyll and Nutrient Sampling
Operations**]{.underline}

The oxygen sample should be the first sample drawn from the bottles.
Attach a length of tygon tubing to the spigot of the Niskin bottle, hold
the tube so the end is below the spigot, and let water flow until you no
longer see bubbles in the tube. Then rinse the sample bottle and
completely fill it. Immediately add the two fixing agents, (they will
sink and water will be displaced and flow out the top of the bottle),
make sure there are no air spaces left in the bottle, and stopper it.
Invert the bottle several times to mix the fixing agents throughout the
sample.

A salinity sample will be drawn from one bottle on every other cast,
unless circumstances warrant more frequent sampling. The scientist who
has watched the cast will have chosen the best depth for the salinity
sample; a depth where there is little or no vertical change in salinity.

Chlorophyll sampling depths depend on the fluorescence profile. A
typical strategy would be samples at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 or 60
meters, depending upon which of the last two depths is closest to the
fluorescence maximum. If the maximum is deeper than 60 meters, sampling
should be moved deeper with fewer samples in the mixed layer.
Chlorophyll samples will be collected in 125 or 250 ml bottles by
scientists from the Niskin bottles after CTD casts. They will then
filter the samples, place them in labeled vials, and then wrap all the
vials from the cast in a labeled piece of aluminum foil. It is desirable
to flash-freeze nutrient samples in an -80° Celsius freezer, if
available, if they are not to be analyzed with 24 hours. The -80°
Celsius freezer is required for sample storage of the chlorophyll & HPLC
filters.

Nutrient samples will be collected from all Niskin bottles into 50 ml
bottles. All samples will be filtered during the collection using a
battery-powered caulking gun brought by the scientists. They will then
be taken into the lab and refrigerated until they are analyzed.

**3.5.3 [Marmap Bongo Tows]{.underline}**

A 60-cm aluminum Bongo frame with 0.333-mm mesh and a 20-cm aluminum
Bongo frame with 153-micron mesh, both with hard plastic cod-ends, and a
70-kg lead weight for a depressor will be used in standard Marine
Assessment Monitoring and Prediction (MARMAP) Bongo tows. A Sea-Bird
Electronics SBE 19 SEACAT Profiler will be attached to the wire above
the top bongo frame to provide real-time instrument depth.

The nets will be deployed while the ship is steaming at 1.5 to 2.5 kts
with the wind (and waves, whenever possible) on the starboard quarter.
After the bridge gives permission, ship's personnel and one or two
scientists will deploy the Bongo array. It is important that the wire
angle during both deployment and recovery is not less than 40 degrees
and not greater than 50 degrees. The ship's speed should be adjusted to
maintain the wire angle within these specifications during the entire
tow. This is accomplished, in part, by relaying wire angles from the
starboard sampling station to the bridge by radio, so that the bridge
personnel can speed up or slow down the vessel's speed to increase or
reduce the towing angle. The net frames are lowered at a constant wire
speed of 40meters per minute to a maximum depth of 300 meters, or
5-meters off bottom in shallower waters. A scientist will monitor the
depth of the Bongo nets using SeaCat software and inform the ship's
winch operator when the desired gear depth is reached.

At that time, the winch operator will be instructed by the scientist to
retrieve the nets at a wire speed of 20 meters per minute. When the nets
reach the surface, the SeaCat, and nets will be recovered. After the
nets are brought aboard, they are washed with saltwater from a nearby
deck hose to remove the sample into the cod-end. In some cases, fish
larvae are sorted and separately preserved. Flow meters in the nets
record the amount of water filtered, and the SBE 19 SEACAT records the
depth history of the tow. The scientists on watch are responsible for
recording times, maximum depth, wire-out, and flow meter counts on the
Cruise Operations Database (COD) forms. Tows not meeting

specifications) may be repeated at the discretion of the scientific
watch (i.e. hit bottom, wire angles less than 40 or more than 50
degrees, nets tangled, etc.).

**3.5.4.** **[CalVET Net Tows]{.underline}**

We have not presently scheduled any CalVET tows, but this information is
provided in case we need to do one.

CalVET (California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigation (CalCOFI)
Vertical Egg Tow) collects microzooplankton and free-floating copepod
eggs. These net tows will be conducted by themselves or in conjunction
with Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) profiler and Niskin
water bottle casts. Scientists will require the assistance of the ship's
marine technician for deploying and recovering the CalVET net. A "book
clamp" is placed on the wire where the cod-ends hang to keep the net
taut. When used with a Sea-Bird Electronic SBE 19 SEACAT, the SEACAT is
placed below the cod-ends.

The ship is requested to maintain a near constant vertical wire angle
during the entire cast. After descent to the desired depth (usually 60
meters) at 60 meters per minute, the net is then retrieved at a rate not
to exceed 60 meters per minute. The samples are washed into the
cod-ends, and then preserved in 32-ounce jars with Formalin for later
analysis.

6.  **ADDITIONAL PROJECTS**

    1.  **[Definition]{.underline}** - Ancillary and piggyback projects
        are secondary to the objectives of the cruise and should be
        treated as additional investigations. The difference between the
        two types of secondary projects is that an ancillary project
        does not have representation aboard and is accomplished by the
        ship\'s force.

    2.  **[Ancillary Projects]{.underline}** - Any ancillary work done
        during this project will be accomplished with the concurrence of
        the Chief Scientist and on a not-to-interfere basis with the
        programs described in these instructions.

7.  **HAZARDOUS MATERIALS**

    1.  **Definition** -- Hazardous scientific materials are any
        substance, which because of its chemical properties can cause
        the deterioration of the materials or injury to living
        organisms. Rules for the stowage, labeling, and protection of
        flammables and other hazardous scientific stores on inspected
        vessels are given in Subchapter U, Title 46 CFR, Part 194.

    2.  **Standards**

        1.  Storage Containers -- Storage containers should be marked,
            labeled, and stored in a ventilated and protected area under
            the supervision of the Chief Scientist with the knowledge
            and approval of the Master. Consideration should be given to
            transporting and storing hazardous materials, normally
            shipped in glass containers, in special, non-breakable
            containers.

        2.  Working Quantities -- Working quantities only should be
            stored in the laboratory. A reasonable working quantity
            would be a one-day supply, considering the hazard posed by
            the material. Containers should be marked with the
            material's chemical and common names, type, and
            classification, and person responsible.

        3.  Storerooms -- Storerooms for chemicals and flammables, where
            practicable, should be protected by fixed CO2 or Halon
            systems, and used for no other purpose. Where it is not
            practical to provide such a storeroom, consideration should
            be given to a hazardous material locker appropriate for the
            type and quantity of material being stored.

        4.  Incompatible Materials -- Because of the limited shipboard
            storage for hazardous materials, particular attention must
            be made to avoid storing incompatible materials together. A
            close review of the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will
            show if two chemicals are incompatible.

    3.  **Transportation and Disposal** -- The Chief Scientist is
        responsible for the proper transportation, shipping, and
        disposal of hazardous materials, including empty containers,
        associated with their project. Transportation and disposal must
        be carried out in accordance with Federal, State, and Local
        regulations. In no case will this responsibility be passed to
        the ship's crew or operating institution unless specifically
        arranged in advance.

    4.  Chemical Spill Response -- The scientific party is responsible
        for supplying neutralizing

agents, buffers, and/or absorbents in the amounts adequate to address
spills of a size equal to

the amount of any chemicals brought aboard. This spill response material
must accompany

the chemicals when they come aboard.

5.  Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) -- All hazardous materials
    brought onboard will have accompanying MSDSs.

8.  **Communications**

    1.  **Communications** -- For scientific projects, the Chief
        Scientist, or designated representative, may have access to the
        ship\'s communications systems on a cost reimbursable basis.

    2.  **Satellite Communications** -- INMARSAT (voice and facsimile)
        communications are

available aboard ship and may be used for personal or business related
calls. Arrangements to

pay for the calls must be made before calling. Credit card calls are the
preferred method of

payment. INMARSAT calls can be extremely expensive and the exact cost
may not be known

until you receive your bill.

3.  Electronic Mail (E-mail) -- FOCI requests that R/V THOMAS G.
    THOMPSON transmit e-

mail as frequently as possible. We understand that, when the Hi SEAS
Network is

functioning, this means that email is available in real-time, most of
the time. Each embarked

personnel will have an e-mail account and address established in their
name by the ship.

4.  Internet - The scientists will have use of the internet access at
    times during the cruise for the

purpose of accessing near real-time data to assists us in locating the
oceanographic features of

interest, and for transmitting figures and data between ship and shore.
