14. Brief Description of Operations Plan
Give a brief description of the area of operations and type of work to be done and science objective:
CORING OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of the coring part of this cruise is to locate sites within the 9
general areas indicated on the proposed ship track. An important aspect of
this is the multibeam and high-resolution sub-bottom profiling to identify
potential coring sites. Using the hull-mounted multibeam system, we will survey
the areas for signs of rapid sedimentation and choose at least one core
location within each of the 9 areas. Healy’s hull mounted BATHY2000 sub-bottom
profiler and the SeaBeam 2112 mutlibeam will be used continuously during the
cruise in order to gather information at and in-between coring sites. In
addition, regular multibeam and subbottom profiling surveys are planned to be
carried out at the boxes 3,6,8 and 9 on map in order to find the detailed
morphology near these coring sites.One to three piston cores and one
multicore, and possibly a box corer will be collected at each site. The
science objective is to find sites of high sedimentation rates such as drift
deposits and to obtain as long a sediment core as possible form as many of
these sites as time permits.

UNDERWAY GEOPHYSICS (MCS):
This program will collect a transect of high resolution MCS and seismic
refraction data the Arctic Ocean basin. The new data will be acquired on the
USCG icebreaker Healy with an Arctic adapted MCS system (~100 meter streamer)
and sonobuoys starting from 200 km west of Point Barrow, Alaska and ending near
Svalbard, Norway. The transect will cross the Chukchi Borderland, the Nautilus
Basin, the Mendeleev Ridge, the Alpha Ridge, the Makarov Basin, the Lomonosov
Ridge, and finally the Gakkel Ridge. These new data will illuminate the
sedimentary layers and the upper crust in the Arctic. This is critical to
determine the internal structure of the ridges and plateaus that subdivide the
basin, and will establish for the first time the stratigraphy of the intervening
basins.
Knowledge of this structure is required to test hypotheses regarding the history
of the basins and ridges as well as the type and location of plate boundaries in
the Amerasian Basin, the last pocket of resistance to the plate tectonic
revolution. The objectives of this program reach beyond a local understanding of
the Arctic and bear directly on understanding the global plate tectonic circuit
for the Mesozoic.
During the combined programs Healy will collect an unprecedented, integrated
geophysical data set consisting of multi-beam swath bathymetry and sidescan,
sub-bottom profiler, multi-channel seismic reflection and seismic refraction
data.

ICE OBSERVATIONS:
The overall goal of our proposed work is to obtain a trans-Arctic dataset
describing the large-scale spatial variability of the morphological and optical
properties of the summer ice pack. The plan includes measurements made while
the ship is in transit, on-ice measurements at individual floes, and helicopter-
based aerial surveys. The on-ice observations will consist of surveys and point
measurements of sea ice morphology and optics. The morphology component will
include measurements of melt pond area and profiles of ice thickness,
topography, and pond and snow depth. The optical observations will consist of
spectral albedos, transmittances, and vertical profiles of in-ice irradiance.
Optical measurements will be made at sites selected to encompass the full range
of ice types and surface conditions encountered on the cruise. The specific
mechanics of our observation plan are very flexible.
While the ship is in transit we will make visual ice observations and take
panoramic photographs to estimate total and multiyear ice concentrations. The
ASPECT protocol will be used and the ice thickness, concentration, and type
will be recorded for the primary, secondary, and tertiary ice types
encountered. Panoramic photographs of the ice cover will be routinely taken
from the ship. These data will provide a broad spatial overview of the
properties of the ice cover. We will also mount a KT-19 thermal radiometer on
the rail of the ship to continuously sample the surface temperature while the
ship is moving.
Whenever possible, we plan to get on the surface of the ice and survey ice
thickness, pond depth and extent, and snow depth. In a survey cruise program
such as this one, on-ice time is often at a premium. Thus suite of on-ice
measurements is designed to be completed in a few hours, so that we can be
responsive to brief stops of the ship or to deploy to the ice from a
helicopter. We will to be prepared to do 1–2 sites per day, if possible, to
help ensure sufficiently dense spatial sampling along the cruise line. We
recognize that a number of factors will control our ability to spend time on
the ice. The on-ice work can be deployed either directly from the ship or by
helicopter. The precise survey pattern will depend on the size and shape of the
individual floe and on the amount of time available at each station. In all
cases the survey pattern will be designed to yield a two-dimension
representation of ice morphology using main and subsidiary surveys lines. The
surface ice surveys will consist of horizontal transects, hundreds of meters to
a kilometer long, where ice thickness, snow depth, and pond depth will be
measured every few meters. We have considerable experience in conducting such
transects and can survey 1–2 km per hour. Ice thickness will be determined
using an EM-31 electromagnetic induction sensor. At each thickness measurement
point, the pond depth, snow depth, or surface scattering layer thickness will
be measured manually. Pond studies will focus on understanding the spatial
variability of pond fraction, size distribution, and volume. The morphology of
individual ponds, including their size and depth, will be documented. We will
also investigate the presence of fresh water layers at the underside of the ice
by lowering a small temperature-salinity sensor through any holes we drill
through the ice.
During the on-ice studies, ice cores will be taken occasionally for later
structural and isotope analysis. We would like to request some freezer space on
board ship to store the ice cores for later detailed analysis. We can make
portions of the ice cores available to other members of the research team. Part
of the cores will be melted and filters to characterize the amount of soot and
SPM within the ice, also affording an opportunity to sample sediments.


Figure 1. a) Schematic of survey lines. The lines denote the main (bold),
subsidiary (thin), and albedo (red) surveys. Markers denote optical and ice
coring sites. The horizontal scale is approximately 1 km. b) Flight pattern for
helicopter photographic surveys.

The optical observations are designed to provide a detailed characterization of
the up and downwelling components of the spectral irradiance from just above
the surface through the ice and into the upper few meters of the ocean. At each
station, a suite of optical measurements will be made in conjunction with
simultaneous observations of the relevant physical properties of the ice. Basic
optical measurements will include (i) spectral and total albedo measured every
2 m over a 200-m section of the main survey line, and (ii) spectral albedo and
vertical profiles of spectral irradiance within and beneath selected study
sites. The optical survey lines and study sites will be embedded in the ice
morphology survey lines to provide a detailed physical description of the
optical sites and enhance the extrapolation of the optical results to larger
scales. Study sites will be chosen to include both ponded and bare ice.
Accompanying physical property characterizations will include (i) the geometry
of each study site via photographs and measurements of ice thickness and
horizontal dimensions, (ii) photographs of ice cores to document optical
banding structures, (iii) higher magnification microphotography of selected ice
samples to investigate the distribution of gas and brine inclusions responsible
for the bands, and (iv) collection of snow, decomposed surface scattering
layers, and ice samples for the measurement of soot and SPM.
We also plan to deploy three autonomous ice mass balance buoys along the cruise
track. Each buoy will take 1 to 2 hours of on-ice time to deploy. Each buoy has
a central controller container plus a thermistor string and acoustic
rangefinding sensors above and below the ice.
We hope to conduct helicopter photographic survey flights 1–3 times per week to
extend the surface-based measurements to larger scales. Aerial photographs of
the surface are needed to measure the smaller and most numerous surface
features (leads, floes, and melt ponds) that satellite imagery cannot resolve.
An altitude of 1,000–1,500 m is ideal for this type of photographic survey;
however, the frequent presence of low clouds during much of the summer may
result in flights made at lower altitudes. The requested flight pattern will be
a modified square with 50-km legs centered on the ship. Mounted on the
helicopter looking directly downward will be a high-resolution digital still
camera, and a KT-19 infrared radiometer. The photographs will be analyzed
during and after the cruise using a personal-computer-based image processing
system to determine the relative areas of different surface types.

16. Will the vessel be operating within 200 miles of a foreign country? Yes
16b. If yes, Please list them here: Svalbard (Norway) when we work on Yermack Plateau
17. Will you be contacting Native communities to inform them of your intended icebreaker research activities?   Yes
17b. If yes, please list the native communities and contacts: UAF and the AEWC will develop a “Plan of Cooperation” for the 2005 Arctic Ocean seismic survey, in consultation with representatives of the Barrow whaling community. UAF has worked closely with the people of Barrow to identify and avoid areas of potential conflict. The PI has visited Barrow three times (17 August 2004, 1 December 2004, and 13 January 2005) to explain the survey plans to the local residents and discuss their concerns. • August 2004 – The PI met with the president of the BWCA, Mr. Eugene Brower, to discuss the objectives of the cruise. Mr. Brower supported the fact that the survey would not be conducted during the typical timing of bowhead migration or harvest. • December 2004 – The Barrow Arctic Science Consortium sponsored a school presentation by the PI about the objectives for the cross-basin survey. The public presentation was widely advertised in Barrow via posters and radio. During his visit, the PI spoke with the Executive Director of the AEWC and BWCA, including the BWCA president. • January 2005 – The PI presented information about the survey at the BWCA’s annual meeting. The BWCA president and ~50 whaling captains, or their representatives, were in attendance. The PI has also discussed the survey and his project objectives with North Slope Borough Department of Wildlife Management biologists, Robert Suydam and Craig George, on various occasions. A Barrow resident knowledgeable about the mammals and fish of the area is expected to be included as a member of the marine mammal observer (MMO) team aboard the Healy. Although his primary duties will be as a member of the MMO team responsible for implementing the monitoring and mitigation requirements, he will also be able to act as liaison with hunters and fishers if they are encountered at sea. However, the proposed activity has been timed so as to avoid overlap with the main harvests of marine mammals (especially bowhead whales), and is not expected to affect the success of subsistence fishers.
18. Will Marine Mammal Protection Act, NEPA or Endangered Species Act consultation or permitting be required? Yes
If yes, please provide documentation:

19. Description of Operations:

Provide as much detail as possible about the type of operations and sampling to be conducted, daily schedule and hours of operation, type of equipment to be used and any other information that will help us prepare for this cruise. Use additional pages or send corrected drafts as necessary. If this is a multi-investigator cruise, please include a list of Co-PI's who will be submitting operational science plans:
The coring operations will involve rigging and deployment of the jumbo piston
corer, followed by deployment of the multicorer, and then another piston corer
if needed. Occasional hydrocasts will be required for adjusting the acoustical
profiling.

Underway Geophysics will require;



1) Towing of the ~300 meter long hydrophone array.
2) Towing one or two airguns
3) Continuous operation of the multibeam, gravimeter and sub-bottom profiler.
4) Deployment of a sonobuoy once every four hours.

Periodically the hydrophones and/or the guns will be recovered for maintainence
or repairs. To correctly stream the gear, the ship must make steady way. Ship
manouevering may or heavy ice may require recovering the gear. It will also be
necessary to recover the towed gear prior to coming on site for coring.

To facilitate coordination with the helm, it would be desireable to post the
helm in the "aftcon" while towing gear.

Sonobouys are deployed by removing them from their packaging, checking their
settings and throwing them (carefully) over the rail, clear of the towed gear.

Regular XBTs (once daily) will be needed to obtain a Sound Velocity Profile for
the Multi-beam.
