Replacement of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Instrument Test Facilities, Scripps Institution of Oceanography

斯克里普斯海洋研究所进行的这项研究涵盖了所有海洋科学，包括大气和海洋之间的关系。多年来，科学家们一直专注于发展和扩展基本定理，以理解和预测物理和生物世界。获取实地数据对于这项工作是绝对必要的，实地研究的成功和新研究思路的发展取决于可用的技术。大多数研究人员使用现场仪器在海上或在温度、压力或湿度的极端条件下收集数据。斯克里普斯目前的仪器测试设施不可靠，不足以支持海洋声学、海岸动力学、物理海洋学、海洋地质学和地球物理学以及海洋和大气气象学的研究。国家科学基金会的资金将用于更换仪器设施的固定设备，这些设施将合并为一个综合测试设施。该项目将显著提高效率并减少制造和修改仪器所需的时间。能力的提高将扩大和扩大研究生在开发、校准、操作和改装研究设备方面的培训。现代化的设施将影响38名教职员工、38名博士后、60名博士生和124名研究人员进行的实验工作，并将继续成为科学界的海洋科学资源。

The research performed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography encompasses all of the ocean sciences including the relationship between the atmosphere and the ocean. Over the years scientists have focused on developing and expanding basic theorems to understand and predict the physical and biological world. Acquiring field data is absolutely necessary to this work, and the success of field research and the development of new research ideas is dependent upon the technology available. The majority of researchers use field instruments to collect data at sea or under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure or humidity. Current instrument test facilities at Scripps are unreliable and inadequate to support research in ocean acoustics, coastal dynamics, physical oceanography, marine geology and geophysics, and marine and atmospheric meteorology. NSF funds will be used to replace fixed equipment for instrumentation facilities that will be consolidated as an integrated test facility. This project will significantly improve efficiency and reduce the time required to fabricate and modify instruments. Improved capabilities will amplify and expand graduate training in the development, calibration, operating, and modification research equipment. Modernized facilities will impact experimental work conducted by 38 faculty, 38 postdocs, 60 Ph.D. graduate students and 124 research staff, and will continue to be an ocean science resource for the scientific community.
