CalCOFI 1711SR General Cruise & Cast Notes:
Stations and Station Order: CalCOFI 1711SR on RV Sally Ride occupied 74 scheduled stations: 65 standard (occupied 4 times a year) and 9 SCCOOS 20m nearshore stations. The station order was atypical due to personnel exchanged and weather. The first two lines, 93 & 90, were occupied normally, starting off San Diego. But naval operations near sta 90.45 restricted our ability to occupy this station.
A sta order change - instead of continuing offshore on Line 86.7, RV Sally Ride transited north to Line 83.3 after sta 86.7 55.0 due to a family emergency. Station 83.3 55.0, 83.3 51.0, & 83.3 42.0 were finished before exchanging people at Ventura Harbor on 17 Nov. Coastal stations on Line 83.3 were occupied then we transited north to Santa Barbara SCCOOS sta 81.7 43.5 and Basin sta 81.8 46.9 (82.47). Cardinal Line 80.0 stations were next, to take advantage of the favorable weather. Sta 80.0 55.0 was bypassed initially because a Vandenberg missle launch flight path kept us out of the area. Offshore stations on Line 83.3 & 86.7 plus sta 80.0 55.0 were occupied as we transited south after sta 76.7 49.0. Please refer to the cruise track map figure below for clarification.
CUFES egg survey and bird observations were not performed this cruise.
CTD General Notes and Problems:
The SIO-CalCOFI 24-bottle CTD-LARS rosette was installed on RV Sally Ride's termination, LARS deployment system, and CTD PC & non-uplink deck unit. The CTD configuration throughout the cruise was our standard: Seabird 911+ with dual T, C, O2, & pumps; Wetlabs C-Star 25cm transmissometer; Biospherical QSP200L PAR; Datasonics/Benthos Altimeter; WET Labs ECO-AFL/FL; Seabird SBE 18 pH; CCE-LTER Satlantic ISUS v3 (SN 111 serviced & upgraded to firmware v3 just prior to CalCOFI 1708SR) & Wetlabs (custom) 12V batteries. Please refer to the xmlcon files or cruise prospectus for additional info & metadata.
The newly serviced & upgraded ISUS nitrate sensor responded normally for all casts after the light pipe reflector was replaced prior to the cruise.
Logistics: CalCOFI 1711SR pre-loaded a stakebed & van with gear Monday 06 Nov, then loaded RV Sally Ride at MarFac Tuesday 07 Nov. More loading and setup continued Wednesday 08 Nov although the ship was inaccessible from 1100-1630 at the fuel pier. Departure was 0800 09 Nov with 19 scientists, technicians and volunteers at. No acoustic calibration of the EK60 was performed. One NCOG volunteer was taken ashore as scheduled on 15 Nov at Dana Point. An additional personnel exchange was done two days later at Ventura Harbor due to a family emergency.
RV Sally Ride's two-conductor termination was used with the Sally Ride's v2 non-uplink deck unit and CTD PC for all casts. Sally Ride's monitor, keyboard & mouse were also used. SIO-CalCOFI's Seabird Remote Depth Readout Box was not used. NMEA GPS feed is attached to the CTD PC via serial port. The Sally Ride CTD PC is set to UTC so event times (CELog) had be adjusted (CELog reprogrammed to optionally convert UTC) to PST.
The termination work fine throughout the cruise and no sensors were replaced. The primary and secondary conductivity & oxygen sensors performed well throughout the cruise. All four sensor had been serviced and calibrated by Seabird prior to the cruise.
SIO-CalCOFI ran their data network on the ship's network and there were no issues. Internet was available throughout the cruise on individual devices using a quota-based user account on either wireless or hard-wired connections.
The CESL sample log tablet, hard-wired to the data network, worked reliably although slow at times. The Sally Ride bridge watch logged most station activities on an eventlog tablet via wifi. The CTD console PC and supplemental sample-area tablet were also available for logging events.
SIO-CalCOFI's Portasal "Harry" was used throughout the cruise and worked fine.
E. Hunt performed nutrient analysis on QuAAtro nutrient analysis this cruise, supervised by D. Faber & Chief Scientist D. Schuller.
RV Sally Ride has Knudsen 3.5 & 12kHz echosounders to find the bottom depth but was not used this cruise. RV Sally Ride's bottom mapping echosounders were used for bottom depth and performed well when configured using our bottom depth reference ranges.
