3.6 Station Operations - The following are operations to be conducted on this cruise.  Details and times of operations are appended to these instructions. The Chief Scientist will provide to ship's personnel before the start of the cruise, any modifications to the operations, locations, or mooring diagrams contained in these instructions.  The expected order of operations is:

• Mooring calibration CTDs will be completed while on site of each mooring recovery/deployment.
• At site #4, one subsurface mooring will be recovered and deployed, and CTDs will be conducted at the mooring location.
• On the way from site #4 to site #2, four CTDs may be conducted with water samples collected for nutrients and chlorophyll at four locations around site #2.
• Upon completion of site #2 operations, the ship will proceed to Dutch Harbor for a touch and go to load equipment needed for the remainder of the cruise, to drop off two scientists and pick up one more.
• At Akutan Pass, two subsurface moorings will be recovered and deployed.  If operations are running ahead of schedule by several hours, then following Akutan Pass operations, the ship will steam southwest for about four hours, and then deploy three satellite-tracked drifters.  Four ADCP subsurface moorings will be recovered and deployed at Amukta Pass.  Three satellite-tracked drifters will be deployed along the Amukta Pass mooring line during CTD operations.
• After Amukta Pass operations, Canadian scientists will service a mooring for several hours.
• The last NOAA moorings will be at Seguam Pass where two subsurface moorings will be recovered and deployed.
