Marine Technician Support

Skidaway海洋学研究所将获得与R/V BLUE FIN相关的船上技术人员活动的支持，BLUE FIN是一艘72英尺长的研究船，由佐治亚大学系统拥有和运营。这艘船在1991年的运行计划中有很大一部分是为了支持nsf赞助的研究项目。船上技术员计划有两个组成部分：海上部分和岸上部分。海上部分包括指导科学人员使用共用的船上设备；科学仪器的维护、修理和校准；指导和监督甲板操作；并为即将到来和即将离开的科学团体提供后勤援助。岸上活动包括维护、修理和校准共用的海上设备，以及协助科学人员为船上的实地工作做准备。该奖项资助的船上技术人员有广泛的责任，为成功完成海上研究项目提供所需的协调和协助。活动水平和支持量与船舶的大小和能力及其科学装备和能力密切相关。

The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography will receive support for shipboard technician activities associated with the R/V BLUE FIN, a 72-foot research vessel that is owned and operated by the University System of Georgia. A significant portion of the ship's operating schedule during 1991 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The Shipboard Technician Program has two components: an at-sea component and an ashore component. The at-sea component consists of instructing scientific personnel in the use of shared shipboard equipment; maintenance, repair, and calibration of scientific instrumentation; instruction and supervision of deck operations; and providing logistics assistance to on-coming and off-going scientific parties. On shore activities include the maintenance, repair, and calibration of shared use seagoing equipment and assisting scientific personnel in preparing for field work on the vessel. Shipboard technicians funded by this award have broad responsibilities for providing the coordination and assistance needed for the successful completion of research projects at sea. The level of activity and amount of support are closely related to the size and capability of the vessel, and its scientific outfit and capability.
