Ship Operations Support

9703848阿拉斯加史密斯大学将在1997年期间使用R/V ALPHA HELIX作为一般海洋学研究船，以支持nsf资助的项目。R/V ALPHA HELIX是一艘由美国国家科学基金会拥有的133英尺的一般研究船，建于1966年。1997年，该船计划运行112天，其中65天用于支持nsf资助的项目。这些巡航包括在夏末冰量最小的情况下前往阿留申、白令海和楚科奇海地区的重要研究巡航。这艘船是美国国家科学基金会和其他研究机构用来支持海洋学研究的船队的一部分。大多数海洋学研究都需要专门的设备，这些设备必须永久安装在研究船上。训练有素的机组人员也需要支持设备系统和研究操作。这是计划的两年合作奖的第一年。＊＊＊

9703848 Smith University of Alaska will operate the R/V ALPHA HELIX during 1997 as a general oceanographic research vessel in support of NSF-funded projects. The R/V ALPHA HELIX is a 133' general research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and constructed in 1966. The ship is schedules for 112 operating days in 1997, of which 65 days are in support of NSF-sponsored projects. The cruises include significant research cruise legs to the Aleutian, Bering, and Chukchi Sea regions during minimum ice conditions in late summer. This vessel is part of a fleet used by NSF and other research agencies to support oceanographic research. Most oceanographic research requires specialized equipment that must be permanently installed on the research vessel. Trained crew members are also required to support the equipment systems and research operations. This is the first year of a planned two year cooperative award. ***
