Canadian Coast Guard – Pacific
PACIFIC REGION CCG VESSEL - POST CRUISE REPORT
Line P Program – Fisheries and Oceans Canada
NAME OF SHIP/PLATFORM: John P Tully
DATE: FROM: 7 June 2013 TO: 25 June 2013
SCIENCE CRUISE NUMBER: 2013-17 SHIP’S PATROL NUMBER: 13-03
CHIEF SCIENTIST: Marie Robert
AREAS OF OPERATION: North East Pacific, Line P, Station P.
INTRODUCTION/PROGRAM BACKGROUND: Line P is a long standing program which surveys a 1400 km
long section 3 times annually. Data has been collected along this line since 1956 and shows evidence of the
impact of climate variability on ocean productivity. It is the only Canadian long time-series that allows scientists
to monitor climate changes in the Pacific Ocean. It is also the best opportunity for other programs (e.g.
Universities) to do research in the Pacific since the Line P data give them background as well as current water
properties.
CRUISE OBJECTIVES: Repeat hydrography section. Deploy three MetOcean floats for IOS, two Iridium float
for University of Washington (UW), three weather data drifting buoys for Environment Canada, and two Carbon
Explorer drifters for the University of California – Berkeley, to be recovered on the way back. Recover NOAA
mooring PA-006 and deploy mooring PA-007 at Station P. Collect sample
