Oceanographic Technical Services 2006-2008, R/V Kilo Moana

0610443授予马诺阿夏威夷大学（UHM）的这一为期3年的奖项为NSF资助的R/V Kilo Moana项目期间的技术服务提供支持，Kilo Moana是一艘185'通用研究船，作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 还为“Ka'imikai O Kanaloa”号R/V上的某些巡航提供支助，这是夏威夷州拥有的一艘非联合国苏丹法律事务处的研究船。 UHM将为Kilo Moana号R/V的每次巡航提供两名船上技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护、校准和向合格用户提供共用研究仪器库中的项目。 作为基本服务的一部分，他们将维护和操作R/V Kilo Moana上的多波束声纳系统。 作为专门服务，他们将在需要时使用拖曳车辆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。 他们还将为联合国后勤基地的操作人员提供声学海流剖面分析支助，包括软件更新和质量评价。 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使用该海洋设施，并使该船能够有效地用于联邦资助的海洋学研究。 技术支助预算每年评估一次，费用根据每个赞助机构使用船只的比例计算。

0610443AppelgateThis 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 part of the basic services, they will maintain and operate the multibeam sonar systems on R/V Kilo Moana. As specialized services, they will provide other seafloor mapping services using towed vehicles when required in support of NSF-funded projects. They will also provide support for acoustic current profiling, including software updates and quality evaluation, for UNOLS operators. 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.***
