Shipboard Technician Support

约翰霍普金斯大学切萨皮克湾研究所将为研究船RIDGLEY WARFIELD提供船上技术服务。RIDGLEY WARFIELD是一艘110英尺长的船，归美国国家科学基金会所有，由约翰霍普金斯大学运营。近年来，该船运营计划的一个重要部分一直是，通常是在支持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 Chesapeake Bay Institute of Johns Hopkins University will provide shipboard technical services associated with the research vessel RIDGLEY WARFIELD, a 110-foot ship that is owned by the NSF and operated by the University. A significant portion of the ship's operating schedule in recent years has been and is normally in support of NSF- sponsored research programs. 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.
