Brief reports were given on the 1983 funding outlook for ALVIN by represenatatives of the Federal funding agencies, John McMillan, NSF, Keith Kaulum, ONR and William Busch, NOAA. In summary they projected a tight budget outlook, potentially for level funding. Agency interest in using ALVIN remains high.

Report on 1981 ALVIN Operations

Jack Donnelly, Deep Submergence Group, W.H.O.I. reported on last year's ALVIN operations. He reported highly successful operations. ALVIN/LULU were in St. Croix at the beginning of 1981. They operated in the vicinity of the Virgin Islands for about one month and then returned to W.H.O.I. for maintenance and overhaul. Upon completion, ALVIN/LULU transited by way of the Panama Canal to the Pacific to undertake operations there. ALVIN/LULU will continue on operations in the Pacific at the end of April, 1982. Operations summaries were presented (Appendix III) showing 124 use days in 1981 and projecting 200 use days in 1982. The 1982 operations will include the most use days and ALVIN dives ever.

The presentation included brief discussions concerning the operational impact of scheduled escort ship breakdowns (MELVILLE) and of the continuing problems of a means of replacement for LULU.

Minutes of Alvin Review Committee Meeting

The minutes of the April, 1981 ALVIN Review Committee meeting had been distributed in draft prior to this meeting. They were accepted by the Committee.

The minutes of the February 13, 1982 ALVIN Review Committee meeting had also been distributed and were accepted.

LULU Replacement

The subject of LULU replacement was introduced by noting the joint UNOLS Advisory Council-ALVIN Review Committee resolution passed April 23, 1982:

Resolution Recognizing the need for an immediate replacement for R/V LULU as the support vessel for ALVIN, as set forth in the Submersible Science Study of February, 1982, it is the recommendation of the UNOLS Advisory Council and the ALVIN Review Committee that:

1. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution prepare a full documented proposal for the conversion of ATLANTIS II for ALVIN support.

2. As a second phase, that a proposal be prepared for conversion of KNORR and/or MELVILLE.

3. The ATLANTIS II conversion proposal should be completed by April. 15, 1982, anticipating ALTANTIS II/ALVIN operations would commence in 1983.

4. Simultaneous review of the ATLANTIS II conversion should he accomplished by Federal Funding agencies within the ALVIN inter-agency Agreement, with the goal of committing the necessary funds to achieve the above schedule.

5. The ALVIN Review Committee will continue to review the submersible science program and make further recommendations for both near and far term utilization.

In response to those recommendations, Robertson Dinsmore, presented the pre-proposal studies that W.H.O.I. has conducted toward providing an adequate support vessel for ALVIN. On the basis of studies to date Captain Dinsmore advanced one possible scenario for ALVIN operations in 1983 and beyond. This scenario is based on conversion of ALVIN and ATLANTIS II to allow for single-point at-sea deployment and recovery. Conversion would be done during the first half of 1983. LULU would be retired on conclusion of the present (1982) operating season. ALVIN/ATLANTIS II would be available for limited scientific diving beginning about July, 1983 and extended operations in about September.

Although this scenario is highly tentative--a proposal has not yet been submitted, reviewed or accepted--the ARC decided to accept it as their working premise for setting a 1983 ALVIN operating schedule. Information from Captain Einsmore's presentation is in Appendix IV.

Review of ALVIN Proposals for 1983 Schedule

The Chairman outlined a strategy for the review, which was accepted by the Committee:

1. Recognize the constraints to 1983 operations that would be imposed by ALVIN/ATLANTLIS II conversion.

2. Review the 33 proposals received in reponse to the ALVIN flyer. 3. Consider also the 22 letters of interest in response to the ALVIN

Western Pacific schedule. 4. Datvise a provisional schedule for July-December, 1983, starting at

Woods Hole and going to the Pacific. 5. Defer final schedule for 1983 until additional ARC consideration

in December,1982 (when many uncertainties should be resolved).

The 33 proposals on hand were then considered. These proposals, except for four from NOAA, had been circulated to the ARC. A tabulation of the 33 proposals appears as Appendix V. The mechanics of the review were similar to those of previous years: discussion, vote by Committee members in unison and tabulation of vote. By vote of the Committee, the ex-officio Member did not vote on proposals from his Instiution. All proposals were reviewed, deferred or tabled. A provisional schedule was devised but will not be published pending a December, 1982 meeting. Appropriate letters were directed to the principal investigator of each proposal.

Recommended 1982 Schedule

In keeping with the review strategy adopted by the Committee, a provisional schedule was developed for the approximate period July-December, 1983. Because of the high degree of uncertainty and potential for change the ARC decided not to publish the schedule until after further review in December, 1982. However, individual principal investigators and the Deep Submergence Group, W.H.O.I. are advised of the Committee's scheduling recommendations.

Information on Future ALVIN Operations

In a discussion of projected ALVIN use the ARC reached a recommendation that a program should be developed for program use in the Pacific for the period late 1983 to early 1985. The Committee decided on an invitation and review process to develop that program and directed that information on these ARC recommendations and on ALVIN status be distributed to the community. A summary schedule for the recommended program follows:

The tentative schedule for 1983 ALVIN/ATLANTIS II operations include scientific program dives that can be accommodated during at-sea testing of new systems out of the Woods Hole and later, convenient to a transit to Panama Canal, all during July and August, 1983. Operations during September-December would be in the eastern Pacific, south of San Diego. The proposals accommodated in this tentative schedule are from among those received by ARC in response to the ALVIN flyer on research opportunities in 1983. (Individual responses are in preparation for all proposals received and considered.) The Committee next considered 1984 ALVIN/ATLANTIS II operations and recommended that they be scheduled in

-3-

the eastern Pacific.

The ARC decided that because of the possible curtailed ALVIN season in 1983, the tentative status of ALVIN and ATLANTIS II modifications and uncertainties concerning the ALVIN/ATLANTIS II mode of operations that they could not publish even their provisional scheduling recommendations at this time. The Committee has set a meeting for December, 1982 (in conjunction with the winter AGU meeting) to finalize the 1983 operating schedule and to begin to formulate the ALVIN schedule for 1984. In addition, the Committee will hold a workshop to help general information on which to develop the scientific diving program for 1984 and 1985. At the December ARC meeting new proposals for ALVIN operations, especially during 1984 in the eastern Pacific, will be welcome. The Committee's work will also be aided by the submission of supplemental information for the proposals that were submitted before the March 1, 1982 ARC deadline. Information bearing on specific questions indicated in Committee responses to individual proposals will be especially helpful. Finally, the committee will be aided by the submission of letters of intent indicating interest in ALVIN dives in the Pacific during early 1985.

A regular ALVIN Review Committee Scheduling Meeting will be held about April 1983. The 1984 ALVIN operating schedule will be finalized at that time. The ARC will consider proposals received after the December 1982 meeting in setting the 1984 schedule. However, potential ALVIN users should note that to receive consideration during the entire 1984 scheduling process, their proposals should reach UNOLS Office by November 1, 1982.

A letter from the Chairman, ARC (Appendix VI) is the first step in the recommended information dissemination.

It was also recommended that the ALVIN Flyer be modified to reflect the Committee's projected program and to address the deficiencies noted in many proposals and then be re-issued during summer, 1982.

Use of Navy Submersibles

During the review of proposals, the Committee discussed the desirability of promoting the use of Navy submersibles including SEA CLIFF, TURTLE and NR1. Their use was deemed especially desirable for projects near the Navy's operating bases (e.g. for projects near San Diego). The Committee formed a subgroup of Jack Donnelly, Beep Submergence Group, Robert Corell, Gilbert Rowe and Mark Wimbush, ARC who, together with Keith Kaulum, ONR will pursue the matter with he Navy.

ALVIN Review Committee Terms

The terms of Robert Corell, Roger N. Anderson and Mark Wimbush expires this June. Dr. Anderson chooses not to be considered for re-appointment. The Committee considered and recommended a slate of candidates to begin ARC terms in July, 1982. The slate, if willing to serve, will be presented for approval at the UNOLS Semiannual Meeting in May, 1982.

UNIVERSITY-NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC LABORATORY SYSTEM

An association of Institutions

for the coordination and support

of university oceanographic factiities

June 2, 1982

TO: ALVIN Users, ALVIN Sponsors and nterestedr

FROM: cof - Robert W. Corell, Chairman ALVIN Review Committee

SUBJECT: ALVIN Information

The ALVIN Review Committee (ARC) met in Woods Hole, Massachusetts on April 22, 23, 1982 to consider ALVIN operations and schedules for 1983 and beyond. .Proposed changes in the mode of ALVIN operations, particularly. concerning support vessels and the method of at-sea deployment, will probably result in an abbreviated schedule for 1983 operations and will be a factor in scheduling and operations for subsequent years. The ARC finds it essential that information on these changes and on the Committee's efforts to accommodate new factors in ALVIN scheduling promptly be made available to the community. Information is provided on the results of the April ARC meeting, on near-term committee plans to refine ALVIN schedules for 1983-1985 and on the probably mode of future ALVIN operations.

April ARC Meeting

Representatives from the federal funding agencies, NSF, ONR and NOAA gave reports that tentatively indicated 1983 funds for ALVIN would be roughly comparable to those available in 1982.

A review of 1981 and 1982 ALVIN operations to date was provided by WHOI ALVIN operations personnel. At the conclusion of 1982 operations, ALVIN/LULU will return to Woods Hole for periodic maintenance.

Robertson Dinsmore made a presentation on WHOI studies to support a proposal in preparation for ALVIN support. These studies and the proposal are for the modification and use of ATLANTIS II as ALVIN support vessel and for the modification of ALVIN to accommodate a single-point lifting mode of deployment and recovery. If funds are available and the proposal is accepted, work would be accomplished and testing completed during the period of March - August, 1983. Some scientific dives could be completed during at-sea testing, and ALVIN/ATLANTIS II could be available for extended operations beginning in September, 1983. This scenerio envisions that a significant but not as yet specified portion of the ATLANTIS II operations would be devoted to ALVIN support in 1983 and beyond.

APPENDIX VI-2 ALVIN Operations June 2, 1982 Page 2 of 2

The ARC recognized that such a scenerio is tentative and contingent on funding-agency acceptance both of proposals and this new operational concept. The Committee also recognizes that both ALVIN and other UNOLS fleet users may have interests that must be considered. Nevertheless, the ARC accepted the scenerio as the probable outlook for ALVIN operations and used it as the basis for developing a tentative 1983 ALVIN operating schedule.

The tentative schedule for 1983 ALVIN/ATLANTIS II operations includes scientific program dives that can be accommodated during at-sea testing of new systems out of the Woods Hole and later, convenient to a transit to Panama Canal, all during July and August, 1983. Operations during September - December would be in the eastern Pacific, south of San Diego. The proposals accommodated in this tentative schedule are from among those received by ARC in response to the ALVIN flyer on research opportunities in 1983. (Individual responses are in prepration for all proposals received and considered.) The Committee next considered 1984 ALVIN/ATLANTIS II operations and recommended that they be scheduled in the eastern Pacific.

ARC Plans to Develop and Finalize Schedules

The ARC decided that because of the possible curtailed ALVIN season in 1983, the tentative status of ALVIN and ATLANTIS II modifications and uncertainties concerning the ALVIN/ATLANTIS II mode of operation that they could not publish even their provisional scheduling recommendations at this time. The Committee has set a meeting for December, 1982 (in conjunction with the winter AGU meeting) to finalize the 1983 operating schedule and to begin to formulate the ALVIN schedule for 1984. In addition, the Committee will hold a workshop to help generate information on which to develop the scientific diving program for 1984 and 1985. At the December ARC meeting new proposals for ALVIN operations, especially during 1984 in the eastern Pacific, will be welcome. The Committee's work will also be aided by the submission of supplemental information for the proposals that were submitted before March 1, 1982 ARC deadline. Information bearing on specific questions indicated in Committee responses to individual proposals will be especially helpful. Finally, the Committee will be aided by the submission of letters of intent indicating interest in ALVIN dives in the Pacific during early 1985.

A regular ALVIN Review Committee Scheduling Meeting will be held about April, 1983. The 1984 ALVIN operating schedule will be finalized at that time. The ARC will consider proposals received after the December, 1982 meeting in setting he 1984 schedule. However, potential ALVIN users should note that to receive consideration during the entire 1984 scheduling process, their proposals should reach UNOLS Office by November 1, 1982.

A revised ALVIN flyer will be distributed during summer, 1982. This revision will define the scheduling process above and will more sharply define the content and format desired of proposals for ALVIN use.
