Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为伍兹霍尔海洋研究所运营的亚特兰蒂斯II号、KNORR号和OCEANUS号科考船提供船上科学支持设备，并专门用于支持海洋科学研究。船上科学支持设备计划为船舶设备提供资金，这些设备被认为是正确和安全进行海洋科学研究所必需的。该计划为甲板设备（包括用于部署和检索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）提供支持，以确定研究地点的位置。通信设备，包括话音和科学数据通信用无线电收发机和卫星收发机，以及其他设备，如运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目主任Joseph L. Coburn在监督类似活动方面有相当丰富的经验，完全有资格指导这个项目。该项目将允许该机构更换ATLANTIS II上老化的雷达、LORAN和舷外发动机，更换KNORR上过时的无线电，并升级OCEANUS和KNORR上不充分的测深仪。

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 an ageing radar, LORAN and outboard motor on the ATLANTIS II, replace an obsolete radio on the KNORR and upgrade inadequate fathometers on the OCEANUS and KNORR.
