Tami/Louie et al.,
I left a message last week re. the ROV deployment we now definitely will
be doing July 21-26.  There are two special needs: (1) a down-weight that
can be put on the Husky crane cable and used as a fixed point on the
bottom for the ROV and (2) a clean power source.  The down weight, which I
originally suggested be 100-150#, Land Horn (the ROV pilot) now suggests
be 300#; can SIO dig up a somewhat hydrodynamically stable weight of that
mass that we can put on the Husky crane cable for this purpose?  I seem to
remember that there is a 200# weight permanently on the Sproul, so maybe
that would just reguire an additional 100# weight?  Lance says that the
ROV could handle at least 2 knots current with this sort of arrangement,
which would be great from our standpoint.
He will also need a 30 amp 110-volt dedicated power source without surges
from freezers, etc.  Can we come up with that in the dry lab?.....or, not
as preferable, in the electronics van?
I'm sure there will be more information needs, but these were the most
important.
Thanks!
Si
