Oceanograhic Technical Services 2003-2005, R/V Kilo Moana

0309966Taylor这个为期3年的奖项授予夏威夷大学马诺阿分校(UHM)，在NSF资助的R/V Kilo Moana项目期间为技术服务提供支持，R/V Kilo Moana是一艘185‘通用研究船，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。还为夏威夷州拥有的非联索政治处科考船R/V Ka‘imikai O Kanaloa上的选定巡航提供支助。UHM将在每艘R/V Kilo Moana邮轮上配备两名船上技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护、校准和为合格用户提供共享研究仪器池中的物品。作为专门服务，他们将维护和操作R/V Kilo Moana上的多波束声纳系统，并在需要时提供其他海底测绘服务，以支持国家科学基金会资助的项目。通过该奖项提供的技术支持和仪器维护使来自美国各地的合格研究人员能够共享这一海洋设施，并使该船能够有效地用于联邦资助的海洋研究。每年对技术支助预算进行评估，费用是根据每个赞助机构使用船舶的比例确定的。

0309966TaylorThis 3-year award to University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) provides support for technical services during NSF-funded programs on R/V Kilo Moana, a 185' general purpose research vessel operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Support is also provided for selected cruises on R/V Ka'imikai O Kanaloa, a non-UNOLS research vessel owned by the State of Hawaii. UHM will provide two shipboard technicians on each cruise of R/V Kilo Moana to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. As specialized services, they will maintain and operate the multibeam sonar systems on R/V Kilo Moana, as well as provide other seafloor mapping services when required in support of NSF-funded projects. The technical support and instrument maintenance provided via this award enables shared-use operation of this oceanographic facility by qualified researchers from throughout the US, and it enables efficient use of the vessel for federally-funded oceanographic research. Budgets for technical support are evaluated annually, and the cost is based on the proportion of vessel use by each sponsoring agency.***
