Acquisition of Shipboard Instrumentation by the EAGLE Consortium for Interdisciplinary Geosciences Research and Research Training Aboard Explorer of the Seas

0079722布朗该重大研究仪器奖授予迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院，为购买海洋、气象和大气化学仪器提供资金，用于安装在东加勒比海和邻近大西洋的商业游轮上。仪器将由迈阿密大学提供的技术人员操作，并将记录跨越主要海洋边界和穿越重要大气变化区的每周重复轨道的数据。将在NSF支持下购买的仪器包括风廓线仪、散射计、光度计、浊度计、冷凝颗粒计数器、一氧化碳和臭氧分析仪、海水荧光计和其他物品；其他海洋和大气传感器将由美国国家海洋和大气局和皇家加勒比邮轮公司提供单独支持，该公司是船舶运营商。除了用这里支持的传感器记录数据外，迈阿密大学的人员还将包括船上的公共外展项目，以及研究培训课程、高中教师培训课程、船上讲座和远程学习项目。该项目得到了国家科学基金会海洋科学部的支持。迈阿密大学和他们的非联邦合作伙伴将为项目总成本的30%以上提供成本分摊支持。

0079722BrownThis Major Research Instrumentation award to University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences provides funds for acquisition of oceanographic, meteorological and atmospheric chemistry instrumentation for installation on a commercial cruise ship operating in the eastern Caribbean Sea and adjacent Atlantic Ocean. Instrumentation will be operated by technicians provided by University of Miami, and will record data from weekly repeat tracks that cross major oceanographic boundaries and traverse through an important zone of atmospheric variability. Instrumentation to be acquired with NSF support includes a wind profiler, pyranometer, photometers, nephelometer, condensation particle counters, CO and ozone analyzers, sea water fluorometer and other items; additional oceanographic and atmospheric sensors are being provided with separate support by NOAA and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, the vessel operator. In addition to recording data with the sensors supported here, the University of Miami personnel will include public outreach programs on the vessel, as well as research training courses, high school teacher training courses, on-board lectures, and distance learning programs. The project is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF. University of Miami and their non-federal partners will provide cost-share support for more than 30% of total project costs.***
