Oceanic Radiance and Imaging: FLIP Support for September '08 Experiment

Abstract

The original long-term goal of this work was to expand the capabilities of R/P FLIP by installing a new starboard boom to match the capabilities of the existing port boom. Following the destruction of the port boom during the Santa Barbara experiment in 2008 and contamination of data by sewage from FLIP, the goals and budget were expanded to construct a new port boom and holding tanks for waste water and sewage. In addition to the long-term goal, the objectives of this work were to undertake a sea trial of the new starboard boom prior to its use in the RaDyO Santa Barbara Channel Experiment in September 2008, and to provide tug, and other support for towing and mooring FLIP. With construction of the new port boom and holding tanks, a successful two-day test deployment was carried out off San Diego in spring 2009.
