Executive Summary – The NAS document
“Rising above the Gathering Storm” might have some relevant information. It can be downloaded.
Page 7 (FIC)
Circulate input on discoveries to
FIC and see if they can draft into examples.
Page 9 (Terry Whitledge and Dave
Hebert)
Prepare an integrated summary at the end of the “Future Science Initiatives.” This summary should articulate the need for the ships? It shouldn't focus on just one or two disciplines.
All of the sciences will require a
healthy fleet. Individual summaries
included under the specific disciplines can be removed.
Page 10 (Terry Whitledge)
Biology Section - Algal blooms might
offer a good example for a discovery - impact on fisheries, recreation,
etc. Dennis McGillivary’s work was
cited.
Page 12 (Terry Whitledge)
Terry will rewrite the ecosystem
management section.
Another area that could be mentioned
is Gene sequencing and its need for ships.
Page 16 (Jim Bauer)
Oceans are becoming acidic. This
should be referenced added to the text. It can also added as the discovery
example.
Page 19 (Jim Cochran)
Jim Cochran will add additional text
to the MG&G section to address RIDGE, Margins, etc.
Page 20 (Peter Wiebe and Clare
Reimers)
This figure was reworked at the
meeting and will need to be refined further.
It should be removed from the Chemistry section and included in the
intro of the science section along with associated text.
Page 21 (Clare Reimers)
Replace TEA with TREC - Teachers and
Researchers exploring and collaborating.
Page 22 (FIC- all)
Annotation 1; Clare asked the committee to review
the text regarding future facility needs fro education and outreach.
Page 22 (Toby Garfield)
Annotation 2; Large Science Programs – see
comments shown in red in the FIP document.
Perhaps combine with cross-cutting initiatives.
Page 23 (Jim Cochran)
Remove "ocean observatories”
from title, but have it as a subtitle. Add Toby's section in the cross cutting
initiatives.
Page 24 (Jim Cochran)
As observatory examples, BATS and
HOTS could be sites. Contact Dave Karl
for input.
Page 28 (Dave Hebert)
Annotation 1 - There was discussion on how the ship
classes should be defined. Suggestion -
Divide Regional Class into "Federally owned" and
"Institutionally owned."
Separate the Local ships from the Regional vessels. (Not all agreed with this definition.) Resolution is needed so that it matches the
FOFC plan.
Page 28 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 2 - This whole section will need to be
revisited, so that the text descriptions match the ship Class definitions.
Page 29 (Annette DeSilva)
In table – replace HBOI with BBSR.
Page 30 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 1 - Add statement that the intermediate
ships will disappear.
Page 30 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 2 - Revise text so that Sharp is in the
correct ship class.
Page 33 (Annette DeSilva)
Add reference to quote.
Page 34 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 1 - Provide an introduction that these
are not UNOLS vessels, but are facilities that are used and in some cases
coordinated by UNOLS committees.
Page 34 (Mike Prince)
Annotation 2 - Mike Prince will provide information
regarding Polar vessels
Page 34 (Rob Pinkel)
Annotation 3 - Rob Pinkel will provide information
regarding FLIP.
Page 34 (Mike Prince)
Annotation 4 - Mike Prince will provide information
ship scheduling process.
Page 35 (Annette DeSilva and Mike
Prince)
Annotation 1 - Define overcapacity.
Refrain from use of
underutilization.
Define deferred work - Prince
Page 35 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 2 - Reword
Emphasize that under utilization
allows flexibility.
Get words from Peter Wiebe (response
to FOFC plan).
Page 35 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 3 - Explain overcapacity.
Page 35 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 4 - Beef up the definition. Explain
where these numbers come - FOFC plan - we have old ships trying to meet the new
standard.
Page 35 (Annette DeSilva and Mike
Prince)
Annotation 5
Ocean = 275
Intermediate = 250
Page 37 (Annette DeSilva)
Annotation 1 - Define optimal utilization.
Page 37 (Mike Prince)
Mike will redraft section on ship
time demand.
Page 41 (Dave Hebert and Annette
DeSilva)
More thought needed here - maybe try
average day rates.
Normalize the days maybe.
Page 44 (Annette DeSilva)
1) show what happens if the Ocean
Class ships are not built. (put the dashed lines back in)
2) Ask Bob Detrick for updated
observatory facility projections
3) Include 2006 budget dip with
explanation - this is the result of the lack of science funding.
Page 54 (Annette DeSilva)
These numbers will have to match FOFC exactly.
