The PIs request funding to study the capability, feasibility and cost of using the Research Platform FLIP (Floating Instrument Platform) to support development and implementation of the initial high performance spar buoy functions proposed for the Global component of the ORION program. This proposal initiates a study of the feasibility of using an existing spar buoy, FLIP, to demonstrate and provide this capability at an early time in the program. It will address two sequential forms of FLIP use - (1) as a platform that would be used for development and demonstration of interactive systems and spar buoy capabilities and (2) as an initial on-site, long-term, research support buoy.Broader ImpactsThe study should have a significant impact on directing development of buoys for the global network. It will directly benefit the design of the infrastructure that is expected to be funded as part of the OOI and the results of the work will be disseminated very quickly following the analysis work. The planned outreach efforts will capitalize on FLIP's recognition as a unique national asset to provide the greater scientific community and the general public with an increased knowledge of the ORION overall program objectives and the Global Component buoy efforts in particular.

PI要求提供资金，以研究使用研究平台FLIP（浮动仪器平台）的能力、可行性和成本，以支持为ORION计划的全球部分提出的初始高性能柱形浮标功能的开发和实施。本提案启动了一项关于使用现有柱形浮标FLIP的可行性研究，以在项目早期展示和提供这种能力。它将涉及FLIP使用的两种连续形式-（1）作为一个平台，用于开发和演示交互式系统和柱形浮标能力，（2）作为一个初始的现场、长期、研究支持浮标。这将直接有利于基础设施的设计，预计将作为OOI的一部分提供资金，工作结果将在分析工作之后很快传播。计划的推广工作将利用FLIP作为独特的国家资产的认可，为更大的科学界和公众提供更多关于ORION总体计划目标的知识，特别是全球组件浮标工作。
