Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院运营的COLUMBUS ISELIN和CALANUS科考船提供船上科学设备，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。项目总监Ronald Hutchinson在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验，完全有资格指导该项目。该项目将使该机构能够在ISELIN上获得两个科学材料冷冻机，修改CALANUS上的液压系统，在ISELIN上安装备用GPS导航系统，更换两个舷外发动机，获得潜水用水肺补给站，为舰桥获得应急电源，为ISELIN获得清洁工作站。

This project will supply shipboard scientific equipment for the research vessels COLUMBUS ISELIN and CALANUS, operated by the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 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, Ronald Hutchinson 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 acquire two freezers for science materials on the ISELIN, modify the hydraulic system on the CALANUS, install a backup GPS navigation system on the ISELIN, replace two outboard motors, obtain a SCUBA refill station for diving and obtain an emergency power supply for the bridge and a clean work station for the ISELIN.
