Assumed ship speed (kts) = 11.5

Total steaming time (hours, days) = 401.5, 16.7

Total station time (hours, days) = 371.2, 15.5

Total of 772.7 (hours), 32.2 (days) required

The track line for this Leg is exactly the same (inverted) as for Leg 1. This station plan assumes 128 full water column CTD stations. Note this lists a total of 132 "station" numbers, four of which are turning points. Station numbers listed here with zero depths are turning points used to calculate steaming time. The ship will not stop and water samples will not be drawn at those four stations.

The projected times listed here are all in GMT and assume that the ship can maintain an average speed of 11.5 knots, including slowing down and speeding up for stations, weather-related slow downs, etc. The Ronald H. Brown is rated at 15 knots. Should excellence in seamanship allow the ship to maintain an average speed of 13 knots, this schedule would effectively allow for two days of weather and mechanical delays.

This schedule also assumes a minimum of 90 minutes are required to sample each rosette once the CTD is back on deck. If the stations are spaced particularly close so that the steaming time is less than 90 minutes, the ship is assumed to have to hove-to at the next station until sampling is complete.

Some extra time (6 minutes) is also added for the deployment and recovery of the rosette.
