STATEMENT OF NEED

Mooring Wire PURPOSE: This requisition is for one 10,380 feet of 7/16” plastic jacketed steel mooring line.

SCOPE OR MISSION: This mooring line is an integral component of most all Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) moorings. This wire purchase will specifically be used for the Ocean Station Papa and Kuroshio Extension Observatory (KEO) mooring.

BACKGROUND: Since 2004 OCS has deployed deep water research moorings around the world. The top 300-700m of these moorings is plastic jacketed steel cable. This cable not only provides structural support for the mooring, but the plastic jacketed cable allows for inductive communications with instruments mounted below the surface on the wire. This communication is essential to allow near real-time data telemetry of sub surface variables.
