| Communications: INMARSAT
satellite voice and data, VHF, HF radio, SSB voice and TELEX. In-port San Diego phone number: (858) 534-1647 INMARSAT phone number: 011-872-336780030 or 011-872-336780020 INMARSAT fax: 011-872-336780031 or 011-872-336780021 INMARSAT area code is 872 when ship is in Pacific; other codes are 871, 873, or 874 for east Atlantic, west Atlantic, Indian Ocean. |

| E-mail: E-mail is operated on a store-and-forward basis. Messages are queued on E-mail servers ashore and on the ship. Periodically throughout the day the Shipboard Computer Group technician initiates a connection with the shore station via Inmarsat satellite, transfers all messages held on the ship, receives all messages held ashore, and disconnects from the satellite. These connections are arranged on a per-cruise basis to meet the requirements of the research and to take advantage, as much as possible, of off-peak satellite rates. There are normally 3 connections per day. All users are responsible for the cost of E-mail traffic both to and from the ship. Science party members (and crew) are allotted a $1/day allowance for E-mail expenses. Costs in excess of this allowance will be collected from users at the completion of each cruise. |
