Description

This project consists of the maintenance of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler computer system on the RV/IB Nathaniel B. Palmer. Port calls are required every one to two years to service these systems. Typically, this consists of upgrading or re-installing the UHDAS software on the shipboard data processing computers. Occasionally this will require hardware upgrades that require pre-approval by the U.S. National Science Foundation to ensure the costs are covered by the grant. These computers are used to manage and post-process data.

Field Season Overview

We expect to send one person to Punta Arenas, Chile to service the RV/IB Nathaniel B. Palmer computers sometime during the August through September open period.

No other field work anticipated.
