Ocean observatories
Monterey Accelerated Research System (MARS) operations and maintenance
Project Manager: Steve Etchemendy
This project, to be submitted to the National Science Foundation following the installation of MARS, will request support for those elements of the MARS facility that cannot easily be charged to individual experiments. These funds will allow MBARI to provide MARS with a minimal level of service during its start-up phase and provide ship time for unanticipated maintenance trips to service the node.
