Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为研究船Point Sur提供船上科学支持设备，这是一艘由圣何塞州立大学Moss Landing海洋实验室运营的国家科学基金会拥有的船只，专门用于支持海洋科学研究。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John Martin博士完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将使该机构能够通过更换尺寸过小的电线和电缆块来改善电线处理，取代难以维修和安装海洋卫生设备的无线电。

This project will provide support for shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessel POINT SUR, an NSF owned ship operated by the San Jose State University, Moss Landing Marine Laboratory, 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, Dr. John Martin is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project which will allow the institution to improve wire handling by replacing undersized blocks for wire and cable, replace a radio that is difficult to repair and install a marine sanitation device.
