SEA-NET LITE

该合同是向Lamont Doherty地球观测站（LDEO）、伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）和联合海洋研究所（JOI）提供的合作赠款，用于与获取和开发能够从船舶到岸上进行高数据速率传输的船载通信系统相关的活动。该通信系统将安装在“托马斯·汤普森”号研究船上，这艘279英尺长的船归海军所有，由华盛顿大学运营。该系统将在1995年和1996年大量使用，以支助联合远征军阿拉伯海方案。该提案是开发名为SEANET的船载通信系统原型的合作提案的一部分。包括在合作拨款中的提案是：提案# PI机构#95-10117 Andy Maffei Woods Hole海洋研究所#95-09870 Dale Chayes Lamont Doherty地球观测站#94-19306 Ellen Kappel联合海洋机构这三个提案概述了开发原型船载通信系统的努力如下：1) LDEO的Dale Chayes将购买舰上硬件（53,000美元），与Andy Maffei合作集成硬件，前往阿曼为R/V THOMPSON安装系统，并参加一次巡航，以解决系统故障并教THOMPSON的技术人员/科学家如何使用它。LDEO还将提供一些行政支助，以建立一个结算系统，以支付在这一年中使用该系统所产生的国际海事卫星组织费用，Chayes将在JGOFS完成巡航后将该系统移走并重新部署到另一艘船上。2) WHOI的Andy Maffei将协助Chayes进行硬件集成，并为船上通信系统提供用户友好的软件。他将集成系统的硬件和软件，包括船舶系统、国际海事卫星组织（INMARSAT）卫星、地球地面站、路由器和互联网连接。在操作过程中，如有必要，他将随时为系统排除故障。3) Ellen Kappel （JOI）和Rex Buddenburg (NPGS): Kappel将提供整体项目管理，包括与所有UNOLS机构沟通项目目标和进展，并将整合NSF的SEANET工作与其他机构的补充工作，包括但不限于NOAA， USCG和NASA。Buddenburg是一名卫星通信专家，他将在系统开发和分析使用其他卫星系统的选择期间为NASA提供技术协调。创建一个支持从船上到岸上的高速数据传输和连接到互联网的系统的目标是OCE高性能计算和通信（HPCC）计划的一部分。因此，海洋科学研究科（OSRS）和海洋设施科（OCFS）将共同支持这项工作。? ?1

This award is a cooperative grant to Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOI) for activities associated with the acquisition and development of a shipboard communications system that will be capable of high data rate transfers from ship to shore. The communications system will be installed on the research vessel THOMAS THOMPSON, a 279-foot vessel, owned by the Navy and operated by the University of Washington. The system will be heavily used in 1995 and 1996 to support the JGOFS Arabian Sea Program. This proposal is part of a cooperative proposal to develop a prototype shipboard communications system called SEANET. Proposals included in the cooperative grant are: Proposal # PI Institution #95-10117 Andy Maffei Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution #95-09870 Dale Chayes Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory #94-19306 Ellen Kappel Joint Oceanographic Institutions These three proposals outline an effort to develop a prototype shipboard communications systems as follows: 1) Dale Chayes at LDEO will purchase the shipboard hardware ($53,000), work with Andy Maffei to integrate the hardware, travel to Oman to install the system on the R/V THOMPSON, and participate in one cruise in order to trouble shoot the system and teach the THOMPSON's technicians/scientists how to use it. LDEO will also provide some administrative support to establish a billing system for INMARSAT charges resulting from use of the system during the year, and Chayes will remove and redeploy the system on another ship when JGOFS cruises are completed. 2) Andy Maffei at WHOI will assist Chayes with the integration of the hardware and will provide user-friendly software for the shipboard communications system. He will integrate the system's hardware and software, including the ship's system, INMARSAT satellites, earth groundstations, routers, and Internet connections. He will be available to trouble-shoot the sy stem as necessary during operations. 3) Ellen Kappel (JOI) and Rex Buddenburg (NPGS): Kappel will provide overall program management, including communication of program goals and progress to all UNOLS institutions, and will integrate the NSF's SEANET effort with complementary efforts of other agencies, including but not limited to NOAA, USCG and NASA. Buddenburg, a satellite communications expert, will provide technical coordination with NASA during the system development and analysis of options to use other satellite systems. The goals of creating a system that will support high-speed-data transfer from ship to shore and connections to the Internet are part of OCE's plan for the High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) initiative. Therefore, joint support for this effort will be provided by the Oceanographic Sciences Research Section (OSRS) and by the Oceanographic Facilities Section (OCFS). ?? 1
