4 Preface to the user of the research vessel MARIA S. MERIAN In February 2006, the research vessel MARIA S. MERIAN was handed over to the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea research in Warnemünde and to the scientific community as a multi-disciplinary research vessel. More than four years went into planning and construction. During the planning phase, an attempt was made to satisfy the requirements of as many parties as possible. However, due to financial constraints, not all wishes could be accommodated. It will still take another one to two years of operation before all features and the partly defined scientific requirements can be fully optimised. However, it is a ship with potential for on which further improvements. I wish the ship s crew every success, joy, very little sea sickness, a comprehensive test program and new discoveries. With the commissioning of the ship, the user handbook for the research vessel MARIA S. MERIAN is made available only in electronic form by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea research in cooperation with the METEOR Control Centre and the shipping company Briese. Thus, every user has an access to the latest version on the Internet. It is not necessary to print all the information. It is sufficient to print only the required portions, e.g. concerning a specific laboratory. Furthermore, a list of the most recent changes can be found at the beginning of the user handbook so that it is always possible to check whether your copy of the printout still corresponds to the latest version. Only the modified pages can then be incorporated as required. Kiel, April 2006 Dr. Klaus von Bröckel

8 0 Maria Sibylla Merian 0-1 Maria Sibylla Merian Maria Sibylla Merian (1647 to 1717) was the daughter of Matthäus Merian Senior, a popular engraver of his time. He had engraved and released several European city portraits. And he eventually founded the journal Merian, which still exists today and has acquired a sponsorship for the ship. Maria Sibylla Merian was involved in scientific research of nature and made her observations related to nature s inherent connections. In the beginning, she secretly drew pictures of flowers and butterflies, since in the 17 th century this was considered an unfeminine characteristic, even though her step-father, a popular flower painter, identified her talent and allowed her to develop her skills in painting and engraving. She married a painter when she was 18. She was 21 when she gave birth to her first daughter, and her second daughter was born when she was 32. Along with her tasks as wife and mother, she founded a painting school for daughters from well-to-do patrician homes and managed a flourishing painting business. She continued with her work on observing and painting the images of nature. Most of her paintings represent the entire metamorphosis of an insect type as well as the individual development stages of typical edible plants. She systematically included the biological environment in her works, and theoretically involved herself with the anatomy and classification of insects, published her works in the publishing company owned by her husband and also learnt Latin, a then indispensable language for all types of research. In addition, she undertook the responsibility of financing her research. Her most popular publications are the three-part Blumenbuch, a work on sewing and embroidery and Der Raupen wundersame Verwandlung und sonderbare Blumennahrung (The Caterpillar, Marvellous Transformation and Strange Floral Food). As she set her eyes on a butterfly collection from the Dutch Guayana, now Surinam, she decided to study the tropical flora and fauna. In 1699, she moved with her daughter Dorothea to Surinam. For the first time, a woman had dared to make a research trip of such magnitude. She collected butterflies, snakes, lizards, wasps, cicadas, plants and so on, classified and drew them and then prepared and looked for coherences. An attack of malaria forced her to return to the Netherlands. She exhibited her collections, gave lectures on her work and published her most popular work, the Metamorphosis of insects of Surinam. At the age of 70, in relative poverty, Maria Sibylla Merian died following a stroke. Maria Sibylla Merian is considered as the founder of German Entomology. The following phrase comes from her: As a woman, I dare myself to appear before the public.

28 7 Container Container storage areas The stowage of containers can be accomplished only partially with the onboard hoisting apparatus. The three deck cranes can handle 5 t individually, and up to 10 t in combination, but cannot cover the entire deck. The uppermost deck must be loaded with different equipment. The 200 kn move bar can move containers up to 12.5 t into the hatchway (1 st deck) and thus into the hangar and the scientific storage room (tween deck hold). Instructions for the installation of cold containers: In the scientific storage room, the temperatures can steadily reach up to 45 C. Hence cold containers are to be equipped with coolant 134 A or the older coolant R12. Coolants such as R22, R 404 A or R 407 C do not provide the required cooling efficiency with high outside temperatures. The use of R11 coolant is no longer permitted and this coolant type may not be brought onboard! The information below pertains to 10' containers. For the stowage of 10' containers, accessibility is to be observed. It is always not provided. 20 containers are always accessible. Uppermost deck: Number of 10 stowage areas: 1 Weight loading: 20 t 1 st Superstructure deck: Number of 10 stowage areas: Weight loading: Forecastle deck: Number of 10 stowage areas: Weight loading: Main deck: Number of 10 stowage areas: Number of oversize : Weight loading: Note: Tween deck (scientific stowage room): 6 (or 3*20') of which 2 on the hatchway 10 t per 10' stowage area 2 (or 1*20') 10 t per 10' stowage area max. 25, of which 4 are stowed aft in a second layer, and 4 in the hangar, with considerable variation, depending on longitudinal or transverse stowage (see figure container storage areas); 1 storage area for compressor container (with consequence of fewer 10 containers); 15 t per 10 stowage area, 30 t for LMF Compressor Container Two 20 containers (or two 10 containers) can be stowed aft in such a way that access is provided via a sliding door from the open deck area. Two 20 containers (or two 10 containers) can be stowed in a 2 nd layer, accessible from the forecastle deck. Number of 10 stowage areas: Weight loading: 10 (or 5 x 20 ) not all are accessible for stowage 10 t per 10' stowage area

The scissor-shaped arrangement of the damping elements with the 2.6 m long beam forms a unit with the support frame for the 5 t main roller. It can be lowered to 77 cm to attach the rosette for transport. Four hydraulic cylinders ensure the damping of swaying motion as well as up-and-down movement of the scissor arms. Their relative distance changes on the upper edge of the rosette by around 45 cm (caution is to be observed with respect to the probes located on the top, e.g. PAR Sensor!).

66 9 Scientific winch equipment Winch instrumentation Application: Manufacturer: Displays: Protocol: Data storage: Entry of threshold value: The winch instrumentation registers instantaneous values regarding cable length, cable speed and cable tension for the two storage winches, friction winches, cable winches as well as for the serial winches and multi-purpose applicable winches. The instrumentation checks compliance with the limit values (by pre-alarm indications or emergency stop), displays the measured data in real time, and exports the data to the DSHIP data distribution system (and thus to the database) SAM Electronics Bridge (server and printer), winch travel status (client), echo sound centre (client), large scale display of working deck (only cable length) as well as all 27 desktop PCs (via DSHIP display) TCP/IP Server (bridge), DSHIP database Before reaching the defined threshold values, pre-alarm indications are triggered (Hoisting: Pre-alarm Null = stop before cable null position; Lowering: Pre-alarm Down = set working length). Automatic stop function actuation when the set threshold values are reached.

67 9 Scientific winch equipment Connector devices All cables from the cable winches and the fibre-optics cable from (green) storage winch 2 terminate in the data centre. A patch panel is installed there, for controlling the required distribution of the transmitted signals to the laboratories (echo sounder control room, dry laboratory, hangar, data centre), electronic workshop, scientific working room (1 st superstructure deck) as well as to the container connections (main deck aft and amidships, and storage room on the tween deck) via Lemosa FFA 3e connectors. [This only applies to the discharge winches at this time; the signals from the fibre-optic cables will be distributed shortly (initially using the overhead lines) (e.g. in the echo sounder control room and in the data centre)] Application: At the submerged end of the 11 mm coaxial cable (cable winches 1 and 2), underwater connectors are provided for connecting measuring devices/probes (e.g. CTD, multinetwork). Manufacturer: Types: Counterpiece on the device: Sea Connections Systems Ltd. Standard SUBCONN IL-2-F (Connection: DLSA-M) Standard SUBCONN IL-2-M (Connection: DLSA-F) Counterpiece onboard-ctd: Micro-SUBCONN MCIL-2-MSW (Connection: MCDLS-F) An adapter (IL-2-M on MCIL-2-FSW) for CTD operation is available onboard. Connector pin assignment: Wire No. 2 (white) is the signal cable Wire No. 1 (black) is the ground connection. The plug type connector for the fibre-optic hybrid cable is a Gisma Series 40 standard connector. Connectors for one single-mode fibre-optic cable as well as coax screen and centre are provided. Detailed Gisma designation for the connector: Series BR40 Standard Ship side: Device side (scientific): The connector assignment is as follows: 3=fibre-optic cable (active fibre-optic line) 6=not occupied 1=Centre coax cable 2=Centre coax cable 4=Screen coax cable 5=Screen coax cable Note: The cable contains only one coaxial connection. In order to increase the flexibility, the screen and centre are connected by simple bridges within the Gisma connector to 2 pins respectively.

70 10 Laboratories and rooms used for scientific purposes 10-1 (1) The layout of laboratories and other rooms used for scientific purposes is shown in the Laboratories layout plan diagram. (2) The size, arrangement and details of the equipment in the individual laboratory and scientific rooms are shown in the drawings based on the arrangement drawings from the shipyard. The right and left sides of the drawings are oriented towards the bow and stern, respectively. (3) The room temperature of each laboratory can be individually controlled (± 1 C). The temperature control accuracy for the cold rooms, salinometer room and gravimeter room is ± 0.5 C. Certain laboratory rooms located over the cooling tanks feature an additional floor heating system for circulating warm air, with two thermostats provided for this purpose. (4) Wiring for the electrical power supply (main power supply: white sockets, stabilized laboratory grid: red sockets) and network communication systems are installed in cable channels along the top of the walls. (5) All laboratories (including hangar, echo sounder control centre, data centre) as well as the conference room and electronic workshop are equipped with TV/radio/video antenna connectors, in addition to connector sockets for the CCTV monitoring system (except data centre). All of the laboratories as well as pulser station feature BNC connectors (in/out) for the 1 PPS timer signal (1 pulse per second); also planned for these locations is provision of a 1 pulse per nautical mile signal. The aforementioned features do not apply to the salinometer room, gravimeter room and scientific cold room. In the dry laboratory, an RS 232 connector for the Motion Reference Unit (MRU) is available for recording ship movement data (roll, pitch, heave and yaw; refer to Chapter 13.5 Seapath 200 ). (6) In the hangar, deck laboratory, dry laboratory, echo sounder control centre and the electronic workshop, data signals can be acquired from the winch collector rings (presently only the discharge winch), but must first be correspondingly distributed via the patch panel in the data centre. Connections for the winch control are found in the echo sounder control centre and in the hangar, from where an extension cable extends to the data centre. On earlier cruises, this feature enabled the operation of a camera-controlled sampling device as well as observation and measuring devices (e.g. OFOS, TV-Gripper, TV-MUC, lander) from the data centre without any problem (via the patch panel, CCTV and DVS). Also beneficial is the proximity of the Posidonia control unit. (7) Located in the chemical laboratory is a water purifier system (MIELE Professional G7895 Aqua Purificator) with conductivity measuring module as well as a purification and disinfection systems (MIELE Professional G7883 Compact Disinfector). With the new/recycled water purifier (E310), the ion exchanger delivers conductance values of <2 µs/cm. The laboratory glass cleaning machine fulfils the requirements as per pren ISO (thermal disinfection with 80 C / 10 min) and/or HBV (90 C / 5 min), but not with respect to sterilization. (8) Sea-water inflow for the laboratory (including hangar) is affected by means of the hydraulic extension unit (Chapter 14.9) from a depth of approx. 6.5 m, and via a new additional intake device. Difficulties associated with sea state and ice conditions are thus avoided. The pure sea water can either be transported with a centrifugal pump or a membrane pump.

71 10 Laboratories and scientific rooms 10-2 (9) The floors can withstand exposure to chemicals and sea water (brand name: Bolidt). The floor surface extends upward 150 mm along the walls (exception: conference room). An elevated floor is found in the echo sounder control room/data processing room. A tiled floor is found in the gravimeter room. All floors are designed for loads of up to 500 kg/m². (10) The deck height clearance in general amounts to 2.15 m (for exceptions, see individual drawings). The deck height is partly lower under ventilation openings, lamps and fire alarms. (11) The laboratory doors in general have a clearance width of 1.2 m (2-part doors: 800 and 400 mm). The clearance height of the doors amounts to at least 1.95 m. (12) Flush-mounted C-rails are installed on the walls, ceilings and table tops for securing equipment. The C-rails are separated by 600 mm. On the ceilings, they run in the direction of the ship s longitudinal axis, on the walls they run from top to bottom, and on the table tops they run along the walls. The C-rails are designed for a tensile force of 1kN per meter. The C-rails feature self-locking sliding nuts (M8 thread) with springs, which can be inserted and removed from any place on the rail, as well as limited number of ring bolts and eyebolts. The C-rail system is grounded. (13) Tie-down fittings are incorporated in the floor surfaces (except in the hallways and areas with permanent equipment installations). The tie-down fittings have M8 threads and can be loaded up to 1 kn per fitting. The separation is 600 x 600 mm. The fittings are set flush with the wall and ceiling surfaces. The fittings are locked with threaded pins. (14) All furniture is made of seawater-proof plywood with table tops from 20 mm ( Trespa ). The frame construction is made of stainless steel square pipes. All furniture can be secured to and easily detached from the C-rail system and floor tie-down fittings. (15) All laboratory rooms are equipped with waste paper baskets and magnetic boards.

72 10 Laboratories and scientific rooms Laboratory waste water system All grey and black water from all toilets, showers, wash basins etc. (but not from laboratory rooms) is mechanically and biologically cleaned and passed through micro-filtration membranes. The resulting industrial water with fresh-water qualities can be reused onboard (e.g. for flushing of toilets). No laboratory drains are connected to the purification plant, so that this sensitive purification plant is not rendered inoperative by slight biologically or chemically contaminated waste water or by improper discharge of contaminated substances in the laboratories. Normally, all waste water from the laboratory rooms is discharged directly off the ship. The scuppers and sinks are disposed of on the port side of the ship. Two different systems with corresponding storage tanks are available, so that no waste water from the laboratory rooms is discharged from the ship during clean ship operation (maximum 48 hours): (1) All waste water from the scuppers and approximately half of the laboratory sinks are temporarily stored in the clean ship tank. This system is constructed of normal pipe lines. (2) The waste water from the other half of laboratory sinks can be temporarily stored in a laboratory waste-water tank. This special laboratory waste-water system is made of inert plastic to prevent damage to the system from any unintended presence of weak acids and/or bases, or in the event of accidents or mishaps. For the scientific user on board, this means that all work with chemicals involving sinks is linked with the laboratory waste-water system. But this in no way means that chemicals of any kind may be disposed there (see Chapter 16. Waste disposal). All work involving a continuous discharge of water (e.g. for cooling purposes) should take place at the normal sinks. In any case, work involving large quantities of sediment in the sinks is to be avoided. The installation of special sediment wash basin in the hangar is being planned.

137 12 Hydro acoustic systems Hydro acoustic systems The Maria S. Merian is equipped with nine integrated hydro acoustic devices and four additional mobile systems that can be installed as required. The accompanying diagram shows the arrangement of the individual system components. Specifically, these include the following: Atlas PARASOUND DS P-70 (parametric sediment echo sounder, 'sub-bottom profiler ) Kongsberg (Simrad) EM120 (12 khz deep-sea multibeam echo sounder, m water depth) Kongsberg (Simrad) EM1002 (95 khz shallow-water multibeam echosounder, m water depth) Kongsberg (Simrad) EA600 (vertical echosounder / multiple-frequency echosounder: 12/38/200 khz) Kongsberg (Simrad) pinger echosounder (in combination with EA600/12 khz) Kongsberg (Simrad) EN250 (50 khz navigation echosounder, up to approx. 800 m water depth) Applied Microsystems SVplus (sound-velocity profiler, up to 2000 m water depth) Applied Microsystems SV&T (sound velocity probe with temperature sensor) IXSEA Posidonia (USBL underwater positioning system) RD Instruments current profiler echosounder / ADCP (acoustic doppler current profiler) Atlas DOLOG 20 (Doppler log) Also planned for the short term is the installation of a mobile hydrophone on the hydraulic extension unit ( Spargel ), see Chapter The EM120 and EM1002 share a single operator station in the echosounder control centre and thus cannot be operated simultaneously. In contrast to the fixed EM120 system, the EM1002 is deployed from the hydrography bay on the port side as required. However, it cannot be used when travelling through ice since the oscillator projects approximately 80 cm below the hull of the ship. The maximum mapping speed (through water) should not exceed 8 knots for the EM1002, and 10 knots for the EM120 (from experience, optimal speeds are 6-7 knots). For both multibeam echosounder, post-processing software for the generation of bathymetry maps is available (Kongsberg Neptune, Triton, Poseidon, CFLOOR and CARIS). When using this program, briefings can be provided by the system operator, whose sole services are not available for mapping tasks due to time constraints. On the Kongsberg 'Planning Station' PL11 in the echosounder control centre, routes and beds can be specified using detailed electronic sea maps (ENC and ARCS) for areas to be mapped or for other route-profiling (e.g. OFOS) tasks. The route data can be transferred to the bridge. The use of a 12 khz pinger for specific sampling devices requires a changeover to the oscillator/transducer of the EA600 vertical echosounder, which is why the EA600 (for 12 khz pinging) and pinger echosounder are not to be used in parallel. Alternatively, the Posidonia System can be used for pinger applications in case where the vertical echosounder is to be used in the active mode. Also installed in the echosounder control centre is a Kongsberg Raw Data Logger, which records all unfiltered echo sounding signals (excluding Atlas PARASOUND)

138 12 Hydro acoustic systems Hydro acoustic systems For the PARASOUND, EA600 and EM120/EM1002 systems, there are altogether 4 clients on the bridge (including the Helmsman displays). In addition, there are three notebook PCs available, on which mapped profiles can be viewed in quasi-real time, for e.g. for monitoring conditions in laboratory containers. The numerical depth values for all echosounder can be displayed online (1 Hz frequency) on each workstation connected to the Werum Data Distribution System (DSHIP) in each laboratory, and hence can also be exported from the database at any point in time. All scientific echosounder devices receive data via the SeaTex- Seapath 200 system (Chapter 13.5) from the Motion Reference Unit (MRU) in the gravimeter room for compensation of heading (yaw), roll, hub and pitch movements of the ship and are therefore largely insensitive to ship movements. The EN 250 navigation echosounder on the bridge is used predominantly for navigation (especially for measuring the depth under the keel) and is therefore not used for scientific purposes. The same applies to speed data from the DOLOG 20 system. All parameters from these two echo sounders are, however, maintained in the DSHIP database and can be exported, unlike data for the ADCP and Posidonia systems. The operation of the ADCP and Posidonia systems is controlled from the data centre, as is parameter definition for the SVP sound profiler probe. Also controlled from there is data acquisition for the measured sounding profiles (as well as online values from the SV+T probe, i.e., C-Keel and C-Mean) and conveyance to all echosounder systems in the echosounder control centre. For this purpose, the so-called measuring computer is available. Alternatively, the sound profiles can be delivered by the onboard CTD system (or external system) and made available for the echosounder systems as well as Posidonia system. The onboard equipment for the Posidonia system includes an antenna, which can be lowered into the hydrographic chamber with its own Octans Motion Reference Unit, and which then projects approximately 50 cm from the hull. Other features include a remote control with hydrophone, a release transponder and a mini transponder. The speed of the ship with the extended antenna should not exceed 6-7 knots (e.g., while relocating the ship to a neighbouring station). In icecovered regions, it may only be lowered while the ship is stationary (e.g., in preparation for anchoring) (the chambers must always be closed during travel). Other oceanographic transponders may also be used as long as the configuration data files are made available. The ADCP cannot be effectively used because of neighbouring frequencies (see below) whenever the DOLOG system is in use for speed measurements on the bridge. In such a case, the Satlog system should be used instead of the DOLOG system.

144 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Overview The DAVIS Ship System, (data collection, distribution and storage system; DSHIP for short) made by Werum Software & Systems AG functions as central database system for recording the data from several scientific sensors. Meteorological and ship specific data such as wind, course, speed are likewise recorded. The recording takes place every second, and selected data is additionally saved in another database every 10 minutes. In all, data from approximately 250 individual sensors are saved. It is also possible to obtain database reports from each onboard PC and from notebook computers connected via a web interface. The hardware consists of terminal servers distributed throughout the ship that acquire the sensor data via serial interfaces and transfer the data to both the mirrored SUNFire V.210 server and the SUNFire V.210 server working in a load-sharing mode. The latter servers are installed in the echosounder centre and data processing room. A DVD jukebox is connected to the server system, with which a data report is recorded in DVD format at the end of the journey. These DVDs are not intended for the purpose of evaluation by the scientific crew, but are sent to the BSH from the control centre. A Werum Land System is required to read these DVDs. The DAVIS ship system provides other functions such as sending of NMEA telegrams, maintaining records, a scheduler and the DSHIP Display System for the display of any selected set of sensor data on any workstation on the ship (User PV) and/or notebook computers. In addition, a map viewer for viewing the current position of the ship and for following the course of the ship is integrated.

146 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Display The DSHIP Display program provides online display of data gathered and processed by the DAVIS SHIP system on client workstations. Along with predefined standard displays, custom displays with specific data sets can be created on the user side. The basis for this is the predefined templates, which are defined according to the required sensors. The DSHIP Display program and necessary environment settings are pre-installed on the info stations. The DSHIP Display is automatically started for the d Ship user. User specific settings and selections for DSHIP Display are saved in the user s home directory. The user does not have write access to the server-side settings. The main display shows important context data, and also serves as an access to the individual and specially defined displays, as well as access for global settings of the client environment. Fig: Main display DSHIP The context data include date, time, latitude and longitude data, journey section and station-specific positional data. On the right side of the main display, the status display can be found. The current condition is displayed as coloured text. Under normal circumstances, the display should be online and in light green colour. The dark green colour indicates that no data is currently being received. If a device is not delivering data at any given time (e.g. because it is switched off), a question mark (? ) is displayed in the corresponding display fields.

147 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Menu functions The menus for the main window serve the functions of the program control as well as selection of display screens. The individual menus have a two-level design. The following table summarizes the functions of the individual menu items in the respective menus. Menu Entry Function File Open Workspace Setting up of saved user environment (default at program start) Save Workspace Print Reconnect Exit Save user environment (displays, positions) Print main display Reinitialization of all data connections End program Color Day Color allocation for day operation (default) Night Color allocation for night operation User Definition of user specific color allocations Templates Name of templates Selection of an empty screen for the definition of custom display Standard Displays User Displays Name of displays Name of displays Selection of displays defined throughout the system Selection of custom-defined and saved displays Table: Main application menu functions Workspace (user specific working interface) A workspace is made up of the main menu, a selection of other displays (templates) and a display field allocation for specific sensors. This combination can be saved and later activated as a predefined workspace. All of the operations described can also be performed on such pre-defined workspaces. A save is always done in the home directory of the user. Design In the display header, the display name is shown. This is undefined as long as no save has been performed. As soon as a combination is saved, the name of the allocated file is shown. The status display (status and colour display) on the right-bottom area of the window is analogous to the main window.

148 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Menu functions A display contains not only display fields for the actual data but also the associated caption fields. These are created over the display fields. For each display field, another field is normally available for the display of physical units of measure. The value displayed here is delivered automatically as part of the data packet in each case. Just as with the main window, the remaining question marks ("?") are displayed in the fields if a device is not supplying data at any given time. Menu functions Menu Entry Function File Save Save the current display settings Save as Delete Print Exit Save the current display settings as new user display Delete a user display Print the current display End the display Run --- Change to run mode (data receive) Edit --- Change to edit mode (see below) Empty --- Delete all display assignments Info --- Explanations of the display (can be edited) Table: Display menu functions Edit Mode In the edit mode, the user can configure the allocation of the display field. The background colour of the display fields changes to yellow. After all the required allocations are done, it is possible to go back to the display mode by using the Run option. By clicking on the required display field with the left mouse button, the dialog Sensor Selection is started.

149 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Menu functions Fig: Dialog Sensor Selection There are three menu lists and further information with respect to sensor allocation for the selected display field. Once the dialog for a selected field is started, the corresponding allocations are automatically selected. Sensor selection occurs in a multi-step manner. Initially, a device is selected and the ensuing lists are filled out accordingly. The centre Device ID list is only assigned values if several devices are defined under one device name (e.g. winches). In the selection Sensor list on the right, all the available sensors for this device are listed. After selection of a sensor, further data for the display can be specified in the lower section of the window. In the field Label, the caption for the display field can be specified. Furthermore, the format for data representation can be specified. Here, the display type (e.g. position string or numeric representation) as well as the minimum number of characters to be displayed and the number of decimal places can be selected. Initially, these fields are filled with the standard settings for the given sensor. The menu actions OK, Clear and Cancel end the sensor selection process. OK confirms the selection made. Clear deletes the allocation of the display field. Cancel discards the selection made, and the previous allocation is maintained.

150 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Display and operating system (AB System) Along with the classic DAVIS-SHIP displays, individual configurable display and control panels can be used onboard for the display of data from the DAVIS-SHIP system. The display and operating system ( AB system for short) developed for this purpose allows the user to create special customized panels through which parameters are displayed, and through which specified values can be assigned to the DAVIS SHIP system. For the display of the required parameters, these panels with the necessary operating elements reserve the widgets for the display of the required parameters. The user can select the required operating element from a collection of widgets for panel layout, freely arrange them on the panel interface, and connect each element with the required input or output parameters. Panels can then be grouped together and locally saved as panel set files. The panels that are saved in this manner can be called up by simply double-clicking on the desired panel set file. The system handbook describes the procedure for the creation of such panels with the help of the graphic user interface of the AB system. However, it is possible to create such panels using a text editor instead of the graphical user interface, since the panel information in the panel set file is saved under a defined XML structure. Information on the use of a text editor for the creation of panel set files can be found in the handbook Display and Operating System Creation of panels with editor (II). The following devices and systems are available: Device name System name Description DGPS1 DGPS1 GPS-System DEBEG 4428 DGPS2 DGPS2 GPS-System DEBEG 4100 Doppler Log DoLog Doppler log EA600 EA600 3-frequency single-beam echosounder EM-Log EM-Log EM-Log DEBEG 4675 EM120/1002 EM-Echosounder Shallow water deep-sea multibeam echo sounders Fluorometer Fluoro Fluorometer GPS-EPIRB EPIRB Emergency beacons Global radiation GR Global radiation measuring device Gyro Gyro Gyro-Compass (FOG) Inmarsat SatCom Satellite communication Leica 500 Leica DGPS measuring system NACOS NACOS Navigation communication system Nav-Lot Nav-Lot Navigation echosounder Parasound PS Parametric sediment echosounder Radar RADAR Radar Rainmeter Rain Rain meter SV&T C-Keel Ckeel Water sound probe SV&T C-Mean Cmean Average velocity of sound in water Seapath 200 Seapath DGPS/Attitude-System (Roll, Pitch, Heave) Thermosalinograph TSG Thermosalinograph Wamos Wamos Wave-height measuring device Weather station Weather DWD weather station Wempe Wempe Central clock Winch Winch Research winch

151 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Network The network contains three networks separated from one another as per the design specifications. In addition, two further networks are provided for the server and sensors. The realisation of this requirement is achieved through networks logically separated from one another with interconnected switches. In addition, these switches serve the purpose of routing the network packets. A star topology network is used for the realisation of the requirements of the network. Server, switches, patch panel and UPS are installed in a 19 cabinet in the echosounder control centre. All of the network connections merge here. For simplifying the cabling, a decentralized sub-distribution system is installed on the first deck. From this sub-distribution system, 2 x 48 double-fibre, fibreoptic cables lead to the echosounder control centre. All network cables from the tank deck up to the main deck lead to the echosounder control centre, where they are routed to the appropriate patch fields. All network cables from the tween deck up to the uppermost deck lead to the first superstructure deck to a space-saving sub-distribution system in the lighting-systems distribution centre. All of the double-fibre fibreoptic cables leading from the network connectors to the sub- distribution system or switches are backed up so that, in the event of damage, the corresponding backup cables are used. All of the active components are centralized in the network cabinet located in the echosounder control centre. The incoming fibreoptic cables are connected to the junction and distribution boxes, and from there to the various switches via patch cables. The installed switches are Layer-3 switches that allow the routing of network packets on the basis of IP Addresses. Thus, without the necessity of further hardware, the required logical separation of the three networks (and possibly further networks for purposes such as navigation or the bridge) is achieved solely through the configuration of these switches. For the operation of the network onboard the ship, a DNS/DHCP server is additionally used. In order to ensure the operability of the network in the event of a power failure, all active components are connected to a UPS. The UPS has a hold time of approximately 20 min at full load. A total of 92 network sockets were installed. The connections are established with fibreoptic cable, with a hub located on-site. For this, cable duct switches were used, which make available a fibreoptic cable uplink and 4 x RJ45 TP connections. Since the components in question are active components, a 230 V power supply is available at the installation location of these cable duct switches.

All of the installed VLANs can be accessed from the VLAN "server. Direct communication with/between the other VLANs is, however, not possible. This precludes unauthorized data access between the various VLANs. The VLAN Ship (Network 101) is provided for the computers and data-management functions relating to the operation of the ship. Data such as crew lists and patient data for the hospital are processed in this VLAN. Incorporated in this VLAN are the following: user PCs on the bridge, office rooms, captain s room, executive officer s room, senior engineer s room treatment room, and machinery monitoring room. The VLAN DVS (Network 102) is provided for all onboard user PCs (e.g. PCs in the scientific working room, hangar, data centre, deck laboratory, dry laboratory, chemical laboratory, echosounder control centre and salinometer room).

153 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) Network The VLAN Scientific/User (Network 103) is provided for all the computers brought onboard or maintained by the scientific crew or the ship s crew. This includes private desktop PCs and notebooks as well as temporary data sources brought onboard and used by the scientific crew. The ship s own user PCs in the captain s chamber and in the discussion room are a part of this network. All network sockets in the living chambers allow a connection to this network. The VLAN Devices/Sensors (Network 104) comprises all computers and terminal servers which receive measurement data from the numerous sensors, for onward communication to the DSHIP system (e.g., echosounder operator stations, display clients, as well as computers in the centre). The VLAN Server (Network 100) comprises the servers that are available for all personnel. Computers from all other VLANs can use data and services from the servers in this VLAN. Printers in the VLAN can therefore also be used from other VLANs (via DNS/DHCP server). The data exchange always takes place via dedicated means; however direct connection between the remaining VLANs and the VLAN server is not possible. Laptops and user PCs All network sockets onboard are configured as 4-point sockets that can be used locally as standard 10/100-RJ45 plug connectors for connecting the computers. It should be noted that each of these 4- point sockets enables the connection of PCs to only one of the 5 VLANs. Specifically the sockets are unalterably linked to specific VLANs. In other words, the IP addresses of the PCs must be among the VLAN addresses assigned to the given socket. A DHCP server is present onboard. It automatically allocates specific (unique) network addresses to the PCs, which should be used wherever possible. If a PC (that is brought aboard) is set up on the DHCP, the computer automatically receives a corresponding IP address as well as pertinent information regarding gateways, DNS server and WINS server. Access is thereby enabled to the assigned VLAN as well as to VLAN 100. The network browser (network environment) of a Windows PC lists only the computers that are found on the same VLAN. Establishing a connection to a PC (or server) in VLAN 100 is only possible with the direct entry of the UNC name (e.g. \\MT-s92\Ramdisk...). Following initial setup, this is permanently available on the selected drive.

154 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) IOW ReiseAssistent ( Mission Assistant ) Aboard the IOW research ships Professor Albrecht Penck and A. v. Humboldt (decommissioned in 2004 and replaced by the Maria S. Merian ) as well as most other German research ships, ReiseAssistent ( Mission Assistant ) mission-support software package is employed. The features of this software package include the following: Convenient and user-friendly display of current information relating to operation of the ship, such as ship s position (graphical map display of the operational area, with representation of the ship s track, target position (stations)), weather, echo sounding information, surface water temperature, etc.; online data from the DVS system (data distribution system), including storage in a text table if necessary in the background, as per user specifications; printing of journals, display of charts, texts, etc.; use of station databases for planning and execution of trips (station databases are planning tools containing information for selected stations (geographic position, water level, planned work, references to other projects, etc.); the database generally contains information for more stations than accessed during any given cruise. automated management of station log book (stored on DOMINATOR-PC; it can also be viewed by other clients (location, as well as the time, operator name and a comments field is included for every processed station at the beginning and at the end)); automated management of installation and/or equipment logs (including current reference data like station name, location, time, operator name, comments for every executed installation and, if necessary, additional information; these data files are maintained on all PCs on which (device) installations are made); call up of data-acquisitions software on PCs simultaneously with generation of log entries (installation and/or equipment logs); thus station information can be transferred from the ReiseAssistent to the requested program (Seabird software for CTD-probe is accessed in this manner); user support during execution of periodic measurement data (e.g., data processing tasks conversion, graphic representation); and suitable routines can be integrated for management and security of measurement data. Apart from the fact that the onboard Werum-DVS dship system provides most ship-related data to the IOW ReiseAssistent system, no additional interaction takes place between dship and the ReiseAssistent system. Proper functioning of dship is not dependent on activation of the ReiseAssistent: system. ReiseAssistent system, however, requires dship to be running. The use of the IOW ReiseAssistent is therefore not imperative. However it is recommended that the ReiseAssistent be used during trips with frequent CTD operations, because the system facilitates or automates many routine steps during CTD probe (and sampling rosette) operations, thereby contributing directly to the improvement of data quality.

155 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) IOW ReiseAssistent ( Mission Assistant ) A permanent core system is installed onboard the ship for ensuring reliable operation of the ReiseAssistent system. A small information processing system is created for this purpose through a Windows server, the Dominator PC and the CTD Client PC. An extensive range of display windows is available under the same user interface on each ReiseAssistent PC. Other functions, depending on the specified functions of any given PC, include of management of journals and/or log files, execution of measurement functions, and/or processing of measurement data. Because the Seabird CTD probes are considered part of the standard equipment of the FS Merian, the computers required for operation were installed in the data centre (there exists visual contact to the hangar and to probe employment locations) DOMINATOR PC In its capacity as the cruise management computer, the Dominator PC represents the core element of the ReiseAssistent system together with the Windows server in the data-centre function. Dominator PC is available on the ship. It performs the following functions: organization of mission-management tasks, including management of station logs (the DOMINATOR system also serves as an entry console for station start and end input, selection of next station); management and/or creation of station database, which should include all stations planned during the course of mission (this database is used exclusively for work planning, and not for logbook-management purposes); generation of information throughout the trip, for forwarding to all additional ReiseAssistent clients through the onboard local network (distribution and exchange of data occurs through the RAMDISK of the Windows servers); and maintaining a permanent record of a fixed selection of real-time data in text file format (generation of day files with one data line per minute, approx. 250 KByte per day) CTD client PC The CTD client PC is provided exclusively for CTD measurements. The following tasks are also performed by the CTD client PC in addition to the previously listed basic functions of the ReiseAssistent system: organization of work with CTD tasks, with concurrent management of operations and equipment logs (place and time at the start and end of operations, start and end of series, comments on events); starting of CTD software; data registration, with compilation and transfer of parameters to probe software; and subsequent post-processing (conversion of raw data by means of batch files).

156 13 Data management systems (DAVIS SHIP) IOW ReiseAssistent ( Mission Assistant ) Start-up software for graphical display of measurement results (EXCEL 2003 is used at present; Excel worksheet SBEPROF.XLS with extensive sample diagrams is available for standard display); printing of results; 'BTL' files (BTL = bottle file, text file with details about water scoops); 'CNV' files (CNV = converted file, text file with converted CTD data (standard: meter levels); and miscellaneous diagram representations (profiles, TS diagrams, DO-S diagrams etc.) Additional client computers on board Apart from the computers listed above, the onboard system can, if necessary, be expanded to include additional PCs operating the mission program. These PCs have access to the central data telegram through the local network. The measurement software for specific devices can be linked to the ReiseAssistent systems of these PCs as in the case of the CTD software, and can be started from there. All additional capabilities, e.g. log maintenance or data backup can therefore be accessed. Client configurations will also be frequently used, for data/information-display purposes only, and not for local device operation. Integration of the IOW ReiseAssistent ( Mission Assistant ) computer in the onboard computer system of the FS Merian.

Sampling rosette: Water sampling: Seabird SBE-32 (random sampler activation is supported) 24-piece 10-litre HYDROBIOS FREEFLOW sampling rosette

165 15 Other systems and equipment CTD system The photograph shows an operational probe, equipped with 2 sets of sensors for temperature, conductivity and oxygen measurement, a Benthos altimeter, a ground contact detector, a PAR sensor, and two 10-litre FREEFLOW samplers. Note: spare parts are held in very limited quantities on board (e.g., tensioning ropes, rubber plugs). Operation and quality control (e.g. calibration) for the of CTD rosette are the responsibility of the scientific users. In this regard, it is advisable to contact IOW (owner of the probe) prior to departure for further information. CTD workstation for data acquisition and evaluation A specially installed PC is available in the data center for work with the CTD probe (also named CTD client PC). This 19 PC is housed together with the CTD control unit in a 19 cabinet (see photo). Also connected at this location is the Surface PAR sensor for the solar radiation measuring device. The CTD probe fitted with a dipping PAR sensor can therefore be used for PAR profiling (PAR: photosynthesis active radiation). The operator console for the CTD client PC consists of a keyboard, mouse and two 19 monitors. The location of the console was selected such that it is visible from the CTD preparation area in the hangar (see photo). Like all PCs on board, the PC uses Windows XP as the operating system and is connected to the LAN aboard the ship (102er VLAN). The software produced by the company Seabird is, however, installed in both DOS-based and current Windows-based versions. The current Microsoft office version 2003 is also available for data evaluation purposes.

189 15 Other systems and equipment Clean seawater system in echosounder room Preliminary remarks: The clean seawater supply and measuring system on FS Maria S. Merian was completely overhauled in The system originally installed in the echosounder room during construction had shown numerous problems and shortcomings. Especially suction points in a high position posed problems (air intake / ice formation). In addition, due to the piping as well as pressure conditions that are difficult to control, reactions repeatedly occurred between the laboratory supply system and the clean seawater measuring system for salt concentration, temperature and chlorophyll fluorescence. Subsequent revamping of a permanently installed suction and pipe system naturally has its limits, particularly with regard to the available suction points. However, it was possible to equip the vessel with two additional suction points (Low 1 and Low 2) in the bottom at a water depth of approx. 6.2 to 6.8 m, depending on the draught of the ship. They now complement the unfavourable high suction points at a water depth of approx. 2.3 to 2.6 m (4.2 m above baseline) on the forecastle and starboard. For normal operation it is recommended that solely these low suction points be used, both for the laboratory supply and for supplying the clean seawater measuring systems. It is appropriate to change over temporarily to high suction points merely for special requirements or under specific conditions (no ice drift, calm water, zero or slow speed). The new clean seawater supply system was integrated into a complex unit with a new seawater measuring system in the echosounder room. Special weight was placed on extensive automation of all water feed operations and feed pipe routing as well as on an extensively redundant design, beginning with redundant suction points and piping all the way to the flow rate measuring systems with redundant sensors. Innovative valve and venting systems ensure bubble-free water flow. Regarding water feed, the crew can choose between centrifugal and diaphragm pumps both for the laboratory supply and for the flow rate measuring systems. The engine room staff carries out all manual and remote settings after consultation with the scientists. All current settings and changes are documented in the DVS on a retraceable basis. The redundant approach with multiple paths and multiple sensors results in a wide variety of operational options for the new clean seawater supply and measuring system. Above all, it is possible to feed clean seawater to the laboratories and to the flow rate sensor groups via one supply line while the other supply line is in an automated cleaning process. This enables, among other things, a regular, automatic change from one supply line, which gradually becomes contaminated, to a freshly cleaned line, with certain transition times, so that a smooth and complete supply of the laboratory and measuring systems is provided for by means of an automatically regenerating feed. The currently active line remains unaffected by the cleaning operations in the passive line. The time frame for the automated cleaning and changeover operations are adjustable within expansive limits (1h to 24h). If automatic cleaning up to the respectively passive suction point (with compressed air) is not desired, the laboratories and measuring systems can also be operated separately via separate suction points. However, this results in certain restrictions for the flow rate measuring systems. These systems only carry out certain internal intermediate cleaning operations. Pipe cleaning up to the suction point has to be initiated manually, which is why this operating mode is recommended only for exceptional cases.

192 15 Other systems and equipment Clean seawater system in echosounder room The overhaul of the entire clean seawater supply system on FS Maria S. Merian in 2010 also included redesigning the complete clean seawater measuring system. It was integrated into a complex unit with the new seawater supply system in the echosounder room. Depending on the operating mode, the new clean seawater measuring system provides the following surface water measured values to the DVS quasi continuously every second: Inlet temperature Low suction point m ( C, SBE 38, flagged as valid when Low 1 is active) Inlet temperature Low suction point m ( C, SBE 38, flagged as valid when Low 2 is active) Inlet temperature Suction point H Stb m ( C, SBE 38, flagged as valid when H Stb. is active) Internal temperature ( C, SBE 45 thermosalinograph, device in active system flagged as valid) Internal conductivity (S/m, SBE 45 thermosalinograph, device in active system flagged as valid) Salt concentration (PSU, SBE 45 thermosalinograph, device in active system flagged as valid) Internal sound velocity, calculated (m/s, SBE 45 of Ti, Si) Internal sound velocity, measured (m/s, smart SVT, control variable) Sound velocity at current suction point, calculated (m/s, SBE 45 of Ta, Si) Chlorophyll A (µg/l, FLNTUS, WetLabs with shutter and bio-wiper) Nephelometric turbidity (NTU, FLNTUS, WetLabs with shutter and bio-wiper) Two suction points (Low 1 and Low 2) are provided at a water depth of m for normal operation. In exceptional cases, however, the more unfavourable high suction points (at a water depth of approx. 2.3 to 2.5 m, risk of icing, air input) on the forecastle and starboard can be selected manually. Development of the new clean seawater measuring system focused in particular on extensive automation of all water feed operations and feed pipe routing as well as on an extensively redundant design, beginning with redundant suction points and piping all the way to the dual flow rate measuring systems in the form of replaceable mini-measurement containers with their own PLC control. For water feed it is possible to choose between centrifugal and diaphragm pumps both for laboratory supply and for the flow rate measuring systems. Key performance data for clean seawater centrifugal pumps: max. approx. 50 l/min (3.2 bar), approx. 90 l/min (2.5 bar) Key performance data for clean seawater diaphragm pumps: max. approx. 20 l/min (3.2 bar), approx. 30 l/min (2.5 bar) A higher-level PLC, which is linked to the ship engine control and the DVS, provides the control for the entire system. The engine room staffs carries out all manual or remote settings after consultation with the scientists. All measurement data recorded are stored in the DVS database every second. All current settings and changes are documented in the DVS on a retraceable basis. It is possible to display the data and operating modes on any PC on the ship using special DVS templates. The redundant approach with multiple supply paths and redundant flow rate measuring components results in a wide variety of operational options. Above all, it is possible to feed clean seawater to a flow rate sensor group via one supply line while the other line, including suction points and minimeasurement containers, undergoes an automated cleaning process. This enables, among other

The currently active line remains unaffected by the cleaning operations in the passive line. The time frame for the automated cleaning and changeover operations are adjustable within expansive limits (1h to 24h). The following figures depict the structure of the entire system as well as recommended settings for the system in changeover mode via the two low suction points.
