CSs hold a meeting with their respective crew about a month before the cruise to review specifics of the cruise. CSs hold a meeting with their staff and vessel personnel on arriving at the vessel. CSs conduct their cruises, communicating scientific essentials to the FOLs and incidentals such as overtime and travel changes to appropriate personnel ashore. The CS submits a Cruise Report to the vessel captain and the FOLs within 30 days of completion of the cruise (preferably the report is completed before the CS departs the vessel). The FOLs conduct a debriefing at the end of the spring and fall seasons.
The Field Operations Schedule on the World-Wide Web is the FOCI Archive for cruise instructions and cruise reports.
Users of NOAA research ships will benefit from reading NOAA Marine Operations General Information for Scientists.
