From May 27, 2018 to June 02, 2018, a scientific campaign was conducted in the Alboran Sea as part of an ONR Departmental Research Initiative, CALYPSO. The pilot cruise involved two ships: the R/V Socib, tasked with sampling fixed lines repeatedly, and the NRV Alliance that surveyed along the trajectory of Lagrangian platforms. A large variety of assets were deployed from the NRV Alliance, with the objective to identify coherent Lagrangian pathways from the surface ocean to interior. As part of the field campaign, an Underway-CTD (UCTD) system was used to measure vertical profiles of salinity, temperature and other properties while steaming, to achieve closely spaced measurements in the horizontal along the ship's track. Both a UCTD probe and an bio-optically augmented probe, named EcoCTD, were deployed. The EcoCTD collects concurrent physical and bio-optical observations. This report focuses exclusively on the data collected by these two underway systems. It describes the datasets collected during the pilot cruise, as well as the important processing steps developed for the EcoCTD.

The Directorate of Supply Operations (DLA-O) and the Office of Policy and Plans (DLA-L) directed that a comparative cost analysis be conducted for alternative stockage policies and that demand stability be evaluated over a multiple year procurement cycle. This was driven by the Defense Management Review Decision (DMRD) 901 which requires the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to reduce the cost of the supply system by stocking "closest to vendor." This new approach is directly opposite the Agency's historical policy of placing stock "closest to customer." We are indebted to the staffs of the Supply Management Division (DLA-OS), the Depot Operations Division (DLA-OW), and the Transportation Division (DLA-OT) for their insight and data assistance at the various reviews conducted for this project. Additionally, our appreciation is expressed to Mr. Rick Jernigan (formally with the DLA Operations Research and Economic Analysis Management Support Office, Richmond, VA) for his initial analysis work which helped to confirm the degree of demand variability that exists across time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
