Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为研究船POINT SUR的船上科学支持设备提供支持，这是一艘由圣何塞州立大学Moss Landing海洋实验室运营的NSF所有的船，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John Martin博士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。该项目将允许该机构通过收购线轴和张力装置来改善电线处理，替换旧的和老化的雷达，并通过美国海岸警卫队NAVTEX接收器的新天气传真来改善天气预报。

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 with the acquisition of a spool and tension device, replace an old and tired radar and improve weather forecasting with an new weatherfax with a U.S. Coast Guard NAVTEX receiver.
