Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为船上科学研究提供支持， 研究船ATLANTIS II、KNORR和 OCEANUS由伍兹霍尔海洋研究所运营， 并致力于支持海洋科学研究。 舰载科学支持设备计划提供资金 对于被认为对适当和安全至关重要的船舶设备， 开展海洋科学研究。该计划提供支持 甲板设备，包括绞车系统， 科学仪器的部署和回收、导航 雷达、陀螺仪和地球卫星等设备 接收器来确定研究地点的位置， 通信设备，包括无线电收发机和 语音和科学数据卫星收发器 通信和其他设备，如机动工作船 用于运送科学家往返数据检索站点。 项目负责人Joseph L.科伯恩完全有资格 指导这个项目有相当多的经验， 监督类似活动。 该项目将使该机构能够更换老化的雷达 在“亚特兰蒂斯2号”和“海洋号”上，升级一个罗兰导航装置 在ATLANTIS II上，更换一辆无法使用的Hydro货车， OCEANUS，并获得一个液体闪烁计数器以供使用 在Atlantis II、KNORR和OCEANUS上。

This project will provide support for shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessels ATLANTIS II, KNORR and OCEANUS, operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and dedicated to use in support of ocean science research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. This Program provides support for such items as deck equipment including winch systems for the deployment and retrieval of scientific instruments, navigational equipment such as radars, gyroscopes and earth satellite receivers to pin point the location of research sites, communication equipment including radio transceivers and satellite transceivers for voice and scientific data communications and other equipment such as motorized workboats for transporting scientists to and from data retrieval sites. The Project Director, Joseph L. Coburn is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing similar activities. This project will allow the institution to replace ageing radars on the ATLANTIS II and OCEANUS, upgrade a LORAN navigational unit on the ATLANTIS II, replace an unusable hydro van for use on the OCEANUS, and acquire a liquid scintillation counter for use aboard the ATLANTIS II, KNORR and OCEANUS.
