Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该提案要求为斯基德韦海洋学研究所经营的专门用于支持海洋科学研究的研究船“蓝鳍号”提供船上科学支持设备。船上科学支助设备方案为适当和安全进行海洋科学研究所必需的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为甲板设备（包括用于部署和回收科学仪器的绞车系统）、导航设备（如雷达、陀螺仪和用于确定研究地点位置的地球卫星接收器）等项目提供支持，通信设备，包括用于语音和科学数据通信的无线电收发两用机和卫星收发两用机，以及其他设备，如运送科学家往返从数据检索网站。项目总监大卫门泽尔博士完全有资格指导这个项目，他在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面有相当丰富的经验。该项目将使该机构能够更换磨损的钢丝绳，并获得一个仪表轮，以改善钢丝绳的处理。

This proposal requests support for shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessel BLUE FIN, operated by the Skidaway Institute 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, Dr. David Menzel is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project will allow the institution to replace worn out wire rope and to acquire a meter wheel to improve wire handling.
