Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

9530878科本项目将为伍兹霍尔海洋研究所运营的亚特兰蒂斯二号、诺尔和大洋号考察船提供船上科学支助设备，专门用于支持海洋科学研究。船上科学支持设备方案为被认为对适当和安全地进行海洋科学研究至关重要的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为下列项目提供支助：甲板设备，包括用于部署和取回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，用于确定研究地点的位置；通信设备，包括无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，用于语音和科学数据通信；以及其他设备，如用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目主任约瑟夫·L·科本完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督类似活动方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将使该机构能够升级Ocean的绞车系统，增加一个备用绞车卷筒、视频监控设备、吊臂支架和起重机的拉索，并通过为Ocean us安装新的EPIRB、为Knorr和Ocean安装新的气体探测器以及在Ocean us上安装新的舷梯和升高的船尾栏杆来提高安全性。该项目将改善与克诺尔号和大洋号新无线电的通信，并为大洋号购买一台压力垫圈。***

9530878 COBURN This project will provide support for shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessels ATLANTIS II, KNORR and OCEANUS, operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 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, Joseph L. Coburn is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing similar activities. This project will allow the institution to upgrade the OCEANUS's winch systems with the addition of a spare winch drum, video monitoring equipment, a boom rest and guy wire for the crane, and improve safety with a new EPIRB for the OCEANUS, new gas detectors for the KNORR and OCEANUS, and a new gangway and raised stern rails on the OCEANUS. The project will improve communications with new radios for the KNORR and OCEANUS, and acquire a pressure washer for the OCEANUS. ***
