Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为由斯克里普斯海洋研究所运营、专门用于支持海洋科学研究的T·华盛顿号、梅尔维尔号、新地平线号和R·G·斯普罗尔号科考船提供船上科学设备。船上科学支持设备方案为被认为对适当和安全地进行海洋科学研究至关重要的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为以下项目提供支助：甲板设备，包括用于部署和取回科学仪器的绞车系统，导航设备，如雷达、陀螺仪和地球卫星接收器，以确定研究地点的位置，通信设备，包括用于语音和科学数据通信的无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，以及用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船等其他设备。项目总监George G.Shor完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的购置和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将提供用于改进导线处理的特殊部件、用于数据分析的两台小型计算机、用于T华盛顿号的垂直参考系、用于新地平线的一个罗兰导航仪、一个国际海事卫星组织通信系统和一台实验室冰箱、用于RG Sproul号的一台翻新的水文测量绞车以及改善T华盛顿号、梅尔维尔号和新地平线上卫星导航的装置。

This project will supply shipboard scientific equipment for the research vessels T. WASHINGTON, MELVILLE, NEW HORIZON, and R. G. SPROUL, operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 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, George G. Shor is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project will supply special blocks for improved wire handling, two small computers for data analyses; a vertical reference system for the T. WASHINGTON; a LORAN navigator, an INMARSAT communication system, and a laboratory refrigerator for the NEW HORIZON; a refurbished hydrographic winch for the R.G. SPROUL; and devices to improve satellite navigation on the T. WASHINGTON, MELVILLE, and NEW HORIZON.
