Ship Operations

[0072938]罗德岛大学将在2000年期间运营R/V奋进号，作为支持美国国家科学基金会支持的研究项目的一般海洋研究船。奋进号是一艘184英尺长的船，1976年建造，1993年完工，归国家科学基金会所有，由罗德岛大学运营。该船计划在2000年期间总共运行211天，其中100天用于支持nsf支持的调查人员。其余的巡航将支持海军、NOAA和USGS的项目。奋进号计划开展的项目涉及多个海洋学学科，包括仪器测试、系泊部署和回收、浮游生物研究和化学海洋学，并将充分利用该船的能力。2000年的作业将主要在北大西洋进行，从缅因湾向南一直到大西洋城海岸。奋进号是美国国家科学基金会用于支持海洋科学研究的船队的一部分。大多数海洋学项目都需要在船上永久安装高度专业化的设备，因此需要专门的船只。这些船只的运作模式与一般货船/渔船不同。因此，NSF支持由全国各地的大学和机构运营的各种专门用于海洋学研究的船舶的运作

0072938HahnThe University of Rhode Island will operate the R/V Endeavor during 2000 as a general oceanographic research vessel in support of NSF-supported research projects. The Endeavor is a 184 ft. vessel, constructed in 1976 with a midlife in 1993, and is owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the University of Rhode Island. The vessel is scheduled for a total of 211 operational days during 2000, of which 100 days are in support of NSF-supported investigators. The remaining cruises will support Navy, NOAA, and USGS projects. The projects scheduled on the Endeavor represent several oceanographic disciplines, and includes instrument testing, mooring deployments and recoveries, plankton studies, and chemical oceanography, and will fully utilize the capabilities of the vessel. Operations in 2000 will mainly take place in the North Atlantic, from the Gulf of Maine to as far south as the coast off of Atlantic City.The Endeavor is part of a fleet of ships used by the National Science Foundation in support of marine science research. Most oceanographic projects require highly specialized equipment to be permanently installed on the vessel, thus the necessity for specialized ships. These vessels do not operate in the same mode as general cargo/fishing vessels. As a result, NSF supports the operation of a variety of ships specifically dedicated to oceanographic research that are operated by universities and institutions around the country.***
