1) have you ever been on a boat?  What type?  How long?  How often?

2) do you get seasick?

3) have you handled ropes before?  on a boat?  climbing?  other?

Activities:

1) class room session to learn about the mooring and plan the cruises,including - make cruise plans

- make recovery plan (how to get the mooring on the ship safely including recovery of anchor)

- make list of lab & deck equipment needed

- design CTD sampling

- personal preparations (clothing, transport, etc)

- optionally re-program sensors for different sampling in the weeks prior to deployment

2) recovery cruise, including

- loading of ship and science equipment (1 day, 2-3 students)

- instruction in safe operations, rope handling, rope&winch commands, tag line, air-tugger, winch usage, etc

- CTD casts carried out by students under supervision (prep of equipment, data acquisition) (before and after recovery)

- mooring operations (recovery) executed by students under supervision

- cleaning of buoy and recovery of sensors from buoy

- transport of buoy back to SIO

3) Mechanical work - cleaning and disassembling of buoy in seaweed canyon, 2 full days but can rotate (2-4 students at one time)

4) Data analysis

- read-out of raw data from mooring sensors in lab

- application of calibrations

- analysis of data in groups of two

5) Prepare for deployment

- help with mechanical preparation of the new mooring &

- help with sensor servicing: cleaning, inspect, re-battery, possible ship to manufacturer for calibration

- consider sensor sampling issues

- test and set-up new sensors to be deployed

- participate in full integration test

6) deployment cruise:

- transport and loading of ship and equipment

- pre-deployment and post-deployment CTD casts

- mooring operations (deployment) executed by students under supervision

Class room sessions:

Scheduled irregularly for: Fridays 15:30 in NH101

Cruise time target :

Recovery 24 April confirmed, New Horizon

Deployment 28 May (may slide a day or so), Sproul
