  3. Estimate of Costs

The Ship Scheduling Review meeting was called to order at 0830 by UNOLS Scheduling Committee Chair, Joe Ustach. Because there were many unresolved issues remaining, many of the UNOLS ship schedulers were in attendance and Rose Dufour from Scripps was included in the deliberations by telephone. A list of attendees is included as appendix I. Posted schedules or Letters of Intent were reviewed one at a time, starting with small, regional and intermediate class vessels. Class I vessels were handled as a group. Comments regarding each ships proposed schedule follow. This meeting was schedule to last for one half day, however during the morning session, ONR announced some changes to the requested dates for the LWAD programs which impacted several of the large ship schedules. This coupled with other scheduling conflicts, primarily affecting Class I vessels operating in the Pacific, made it necessary to conduct a scheduling session in the afternoon in an attempt to sort through the various options. Several contacts with affected PI's were made, however it soon became clear that more work would be needed to resolve these schedules. For this reason the results of those follow on actions are reported as part of this meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 5 pm.

ALPHA HELIX

Schedule looks good; GLOBEC cruises still in funding flux, as usual; there is the potential of one extra day to the Weingartner cruises.

BLUE HERON

Some question about Kerfoot ó is it a 7 or 14-day cruise? Cruises should be split between BLUE HERON and LAURENT IAN.

CAPE HENLOPEN

Put OCE numbers on schedule! Double booking of J. Barnhard with CAPE HATTERAS should be decided.

CAPE HATTERAS

Hwang is funded by Navy. Double booking with CAPE HENLOPEN should be decided.

EDWIN LINK

Potential Lay-up; Navy may have some time, however.

ENDEAVOR

Sohn needs to determine if cruises will continue. Balch double booked with OCEANUS, probably will go on ENDEAVOR in November. Balch still needs a summer cruise; on SEWARD JOHNSON? Cabel Davis to go on OCEANUS in September.

OCEANUS

Balch cruise worked out with ENDEAVOR; Balch still needs summer cruise, on SEWARD JOHNSON? McCartney and Plueddemann cruises ok together.

GYRE

LWAD cruise may go later in year and for more days ó 14 Feb to 10 March with transits and mobilizations. Santchi cruise is funded (OCE 9906823). Need to identify AUV cruise in April. May be double booked with one on NEW HORIZON. If so, cruise will go on NEW HORIZON.

NEW HORIZON

Bishop is NOPP instead of Navy; put NOPP 99 in proposal number slot. Last NAVO cruise should be Phys. Ocean. instead of SCORE; can move to Jan 02 if need be. Rudnick cruise needs to be synchronized with Fairall cruise on BROWN. Childress cruise needs to be synchronized with ATLANTIS.

LONGHORN

NAVO cruise ok.

POINT SUR

Schedule ok.

SEA DIVER

Phinney and Miller funded.

SEWARD JOHNSON

Joe Pawlik not scheduled; perhaps on WALTON SMITH? Needs 14-16 days in May, June, July and room for 25 in science party. Can fit Balch in sometime between 26 Feb and 16 April. Find out if timing is ok or too early. Need to check on Williams NOPP to see if he should be going to sea.

SPROUL

Is Pineda one or more cruises? Can SPROUL be used to help unsnarl the Pacific tangle?

BARNES

MacCready wonít go in 2001; if funded will go in 2002, at the earliest. Devol still pending, proposal number is OPP 0085162.

BLUE FIN

Jahnke, Paffenhofer, and Hollibaugh all funded.

PELICAN

Walsh and Paul cruises go on WALTON SMITH. Ruttenberg needs to be considered. Powell NSF number should be OCE 0000351. Rabelais still may have fewer days. Hwang cruise should be checked into.

LAURENTIAN

Potentially weak schedule ó maybe less than 50 days. Cuhel still pending. Moore cruise may not be compatible with ship. Eadie has only 24 days. Kerfoot should be scheduled for 7 or 14 days ó see BLUE HERON comments.

URRACA

Need to submit a schedule! Need to participate in scheduling process ó at least electronically. Fourteen NSF days.

WALTON SMITH

Paul Grant number is OCE 9811319. The NAVO cruise should be Mayport instead Of Florida Straits. Some NAVO scheduling problems need to be straightened out.

ATLANTIS

Transit times for Smith and LWAD cruises may be shortened. NSF may need an additional 15 dives for Lutz in Bermuda. Engineering dives may only be one day for each agency. Can NAVO Hawaii cruise fit in here?

EWING

Fisher cruise ok on EWING if equipment problems can be worked out. Gaherty has instrumentation problems and may have to go later in year. Might affect Fisher cruise. Johns prefers later date; may not be practical.

BROWN

Fairall cruise needs coordination with Rudnick on NEW HORIZON. Depending on funding, more ship days may happen in July ó August time.

KOK

166 days scheduled - mostly NSF/NOAA time HOTS. Malahoff, NSF cruise not scheduled ó up to 10 days ship time.

KNORR

Simard schedule ok. NAVO looking at gravity survey off Puerto Rico after Simard; may take priority over Hawaii multi-beam.

Others ó No closure done on big ships in Pacific. Alternative schedules being worked on to see what gets left off. At end of the meeting the tangle included:

ROV Problems: Coffin has no vehicle and no ship as yet. Johnson will get heat transfer cruise done. For his LEXEN initiative there were three possibilities: 1.) Postpone until 2002; 2.) Go immediately after heat transfer dive; 3.) Go in September if a vehicle can be found that is available.

Honolulu Problems: Chave cruise is hanging. May be able to go on WECOMA after Anderson, but Chave is balking at this option because of vessel capabilities. Sansone cruise has to go in June/July; is also left hanging. NAVO wants a ship near Honolulu for up to 45 days (but see comments at KNORR). Can be done in one, two, or three separate cruises, but prefer one cruise. Will attempt to find an alternative schedule that can allow Chave, Sansone, Coffin, and NAVO(?) to go in summer in Honolulu. Coffin also needs an ROV ó see above.

WECOMA, THOMPSON, REVELLE Problems: Wheeler and Barth cruises must coincide. They can miss each other by 4-5 days at most. Wheelerís earliest time is a mid-May start and second cruise has to end in August. Whichever ship Wheelerís first cruise has, must be used for her second cruise.

LWAD Problems:

LWAD 01 Gulf of Mexico ó All is ok
LWAD 02 Far East ó missing one large ship
LWAD 03 Southern California ó missing one large ship.

POST-MEETING SCHEDULING PROCESS

Due to the number of outstanding issues, in particular with large ship in the Pacific, a number of conference calls and email correspondence took place to arrive at the best possible solutions. The following is a summary of the outcome of the follow on deliberations.

Here is a summary of the results of the conference calls and work on the 2001 Schedules in the Pacific for REVELLE, MELVILLE, THOMPSON, EWING, ATLANTIS, WECOMA and KOK:

1. The schedules that are being proposed as the "final solution" are theThompson_2 LOI, Revelle_3 (email format only from Rose Dufour Monday,
October 2, 2000 1:07 PM) and Melville's posted schedule all dated Oct. 2, 2000. They are included at the bottom of this message.

2. There is no set of solutions that we have been able to develop that do not leave some work on the beach altogether or defers work to 2002.

3. Some of the work being scheduled in 2001 has already been deferred from 2000 or earlier. These are the cruises for Becker, Chadwell, Silver, Van Dover, Fryer and Levin.

4. Some of the work being scheduled in 2001 are follow on cruises to work already started where deployed equipment could not be recovered or time series values would be disrupted. These include: Levin, Johnson, Home Projects, Spiess and ASIA-Ex.

5. For many of the cruises being scheduled there have been serious constraints due to the availability of ROV's, weather windows, coastal processes, multiple ship operations and coordination with larger operations or exercises.

6. ROV availability and shipping time requirements result in the ROV JASON being scheduled for Van Dover, Johnson, Silver and Schouten. JASON is not available for Levin, who will use a smaller leased vehicle; Coffin, who is pursuing other options, and Johnson's Lexen Cruise which is being deferred to 2002.

7. Solutions using the R/V RONALD BROWN have not been possible at this point in time due to the uncertainty of their funding status and the level of support needed for the NOAA work. BROWN would not be available for LWAD- 02 due to conflict with other work.

8. Fisher will be scheduled on EWING in order to free up time on REVELLE schedule. This should be acceptable to the PI.

9. The following cruises are not scheduled, are deferred or in less than desired time slots under this proposed set of schedules.

a. Hildebrand is being deferred until 2002 due to the inability to have a ship in Hawaii at the right time for a long enough period. PI is aware of this and although not particularly happy about it, has accepted it. This is supposed to be an annual measurement. SIO needs to send note to NSF ship ops program manager or PI needs to inform his program manager.

b. Worcester/Chave - First Deployment cruise not in optimal window, they are at the earliest possible weather window for deployments in order to utilize available ship (REVELLE) and still get their gear in the water before the rest of the HOME project cruises later in the year. Chave cannot go much earlier due to availability of equipment.

c. Chadwell- already delayed two years and scheduled later than desired in 2001 due to need for specific ship in a location off South America.

d. Becker- already delayed two years and later in 2001 due to specific ship/equipment needs in remote area.

e. Lisa Levin - already delayed six months later and required to complete second cruise in a different year using a different ROV than originally requested due to conflicts in ROV schedule.

f. Rick Coffin - Not scheduled with either a ship or ROV due to conflicts with other projects for use of ROV (Johnson and Silver) and Ship (LWAD and COAST). PI and Program manager are aware and looking for alternatives.

g. Paul Johnson (LEXEN) This cruise is deferred until 2002 due to conflicts with ROV schedule and COAST project. PI is aware of this and it is acceptable to him.

h. LWAD - 02 (Japan) - Only one of the two ships requested is provided (MELVILLE). The change to later dates creates a hole in the MELVILLE schedule between ASIA-EX and LWAD up to a month long, depending on how much time ASIA EX actually uses. This hole is not long enough to pick-up any work in Hawaii or the South Pacific. These LWAD dates also mean that MELVILLE cannot get to Hawaii in time to carry out the Worcester mooring turn-around cruise before Flip gets underway for HOME project. The second possible ship for LWAD-02 is the THOMPSON, however having THOMPSON steam to Japan for LWAD would adversely impact the NSF COAST project in the Pacific Northwest and would not allow the THOMPSON to conduct the Worcester turnaround cruise for HOME. The COAST project is a two-ship operation that must be coordinated with WECOMA and must include two separate field expeditions that fall within a fairly narrow upwelling season, all within the same year. Failing to do part of this project would put at risk the entire project, which would affect four cruises on WECOMA (Barth & Levine) and two cruises on THOMPSON (Wheeler). Providing THOMPSON for LWAD - 02 would require that they make a deadhead transit from Seattle to Japan and then back again for the two-week LWAD project. REVELLE is not available at the requested time because they are deployed to South America to conduct cruises that have already been deferred for one or more years. For these reasons we are proposing to only provide one UNOLS ship for LWAD - 02 (MELVILLE).

i. LWAD - 03 (Southern California) - One large ship (THOMPSON) and one intermediate (WECOMA) are scheduled for this cruise. REVELLE and MELVILLE are deployed to the South Pacific for long standing cruises. Three ships had been tentatively scheduled for this exercise prior to the change of dates to November. One of the requested large ships cannot be provided without completely changing plans for REVELLE and MELVILLE that extend into 2002.

j. Voight and Garcia requests for Alvin and/or ROV are deferred because ATLANTIS will not go to the Pacific Northwest or Hawaii in 2001. ATLANTIS/ALVIN have a shorter operating year than normal due to ALVIN overhaul.

k. A very late request from Weingart at JHU/APL for a large, acoustically quiet vessel in the summer of 2001 in the Pacific Northwest is not scheduled due to conflicts with previously scheduled or requested work.

l. Sansone will be scheduled on KOK, which is acceptable to the PI in order to get the proper time frame, which is critical.
