Oceanographic Technical Services 2003-2005, R/Vs Revelle, Melville, New Horizon and Sproul

这个为期3年的奖项授予加州大学圣地亚哥分校斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（SIO），为美国国家科学基金会资助的研究船Revelle、Melville、New Horizon和Sproul的项目提供技术服务支持。所有四艘船都由SIO操作，作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。SIO将为Revelle号和Melville号各提供两名船上技术人员，为New Horizon号和Sproul号各提供一名技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，维护、校准并为合格用户提供共享研究仪器池中的项目。此外，该合同还支持在SIO船只和联卢观察团其他船只上提供一些专门服务支助，SIO技术人员将为这些船只提供支助。这些服务包括多波束声纳操作、地震反射剖面分析、减轻震源对海洋哺乳动物的声波影响、生物和波动海洋学车辆支持、“参考质量”CTD操作支持、水文多普勒声纳支持和技术人员培训。这项服务预计将通过为共享使用的海洋仪器提供具有成本效益的专家支持，大大提高科考船的作业效率

All four vessels are operated by SIO as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. SIO will provide two shipboard technicians on each cruise of Revelle and Melville, and one technician on New Horizon and Sproul, to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. In addition, the award supports some specialized services support on both SIO vessels and other UNOLS vessels on which SIO technical staff will provide support. Such services includes multibeam sonar operations, seismic reflection profiling, mitigation of acoustic impacts on marine mammals by seismic sources, biological and undulating oceanographic vehicle support, support for 'reference quality' CTD operations, hydrographic Doppler sonar support, and technician training. The services supported here are expected to significantly enhance the operation of the research vessels via cost-effective and expert support of shared-use oceanographic instrumentation.***
