Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为伍兹霍尔海洋研究所运营、专门用于支持海洋科学研究的亚特兰蒂斯二号和大洋号考察船提供船上科学支助设备。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。项目主任约瑟夫·L·科本完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督类似活动方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将使该机构能够更换大洋号上老化的雷达和工作船，升级亚特兰蒂斯二号和大洋号上的绞盘计量系统，并购置一个液体闪烁计数器，供亚特兰蒂斯二号上使用。

This project will provide support for shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessels ATLANTIS II, 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 an ageing radar and a workboat on the OCEANUS upgrade winch metering systems on the ATLANTIS II and OCEANUS and acquire a liquid scintillation counter for use aboard the ATLANTIS II.
