A New Long Coring System for UNOLS Vessels

[00:23 . 756]该奖项授予马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所，为活塞取芯系统的开发和制造提供支持，该系统能够回收40-50米长的样本。该合同包括对井盖本身的支持，包括一个重量从5吨到13吨不等的芯头，以及拖曳板、高度计和调制解调器控制的释放装置。它包括一个能够拉动50吨的牵引绞车，适合与12股合成编织绳一起使用，以及一个用于绳索储存的卷筒和水平风系统。它包括单独的绞车、滑轮、吊柱、吊杆、桶架系统、平台和液压动力系统，以及相关设备，适用于索具、部署和回收联索特派团大型船只的活塞盖。它包括对R/V Knorr的适当修改，以确保系统可以安全部署。预计新的长芯系统将为海洋地球科学家提供一个重要的共享使用设施，特别是那些研究海洋和气候历史过程的科学家，我们预计它将在2006年左右开始大量用于支持采样计划

0237561CurryThis award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts provides support for the development and fabrication of a piston coring system capable of recovering samples of 40-50 meters length. The award includes support for the corer itself, including a corehead of variable weight from 5 to 13 tons, and including drag plate, altimeter and modem-controlled release. It includes a traction winch capable of 50 tons of pull, suitable for use with 12-strand synthetic braided rope, and a take up drum and level wind system for rope storage. It includes separate winches, sheaves, davits, booms, barrel-racking system, platforms and hydraulic power systems, plus related equipment, suitable for rigging, deploying and recovering the piston corer from a large UNOLS vessel. It includes modifications to R/V Knorr appropriate to ensure that the system can be deployed safely. It is anticipated that the new Long Coring System will provide an important shared-use facility for marine geoscientists, especially those investigating processes involved in ocean and climate history, and we envision it will be heavily used to support sampling programs beginning in about 2006.***
