Abstract (0649621 Fornari)Intellectual Merit: This project supports continued operation of an oceanographic facility (MISO) that makes deep-sea digital photographic equipment available to a wide spectrum of investigators who conduct geological, biological and chemical studies in the world's oceans. Equipment in the facility includes transponders, high-temperature vent fluid loggers, and camera and strobe equipment. This will be enhanced with the addition of a fiber optic camera that will allow the TowCam systems to provide equivalent sampling and CTD data functionality as well as near-real-time imaging capability up the cable. This new capability will be able to be deployed from large UNOLS ships equipped with a traction winch and fiber optic cable (e.g., Melville, Revelle, Atlantis, Knorr, Kilo Moana). A fee structure for the use of this instrumentation will remain consistent with past costs, and provides the necessary resources to ensure safe and successful use of the equipment. Broader Impacts: Broader impacts of the work are primarily in increasing and maintaining the infrastructure for research in the marine sciences. Equipment in the MISO facility has been used in research funded by the NSF RIDGE 2000 Program as well as a host of other scientific investigations. Images obtained by TowCam digital camera system have provided important visual products that have been used for public outreach to expose non-scientists to the excitement of deep sea research, as well as to engage students at many levels.

摘要（0649621 Fornari）智力优点：该项目支持海洋设施（MISO）的持续运作，使深海数字摄影设备可用于在世界海洋中进行地质，生物和化学研究的调查人员。 设施中的设备包括转发器、高温排放流体记录器、摄像机和频闪设备。 通过添加光纤摄像头，这一点将得到增强，这将使TowCam系统能够提供等效的采样和CTD数据功能以及电缆上的近实时成像能力。这种新的能力将能够从装备有牵引绞车和光纤电缆的联合国后勤支助处大型船只上部署（例如，梅尔维尔、雷维尔、亚特兰蒂斯、克诺尔、基洛·莫阿纳）。使用这种仪器的收费结构将与过去的费用保持一致，并提供必要的资源，以确保安全和成功地使用设备。 更广泛的影响：这项工作的更广泛的影响主要是增加和维持海洋科学研究的基础设施。 MISO设施中的设备已用于NSF RIDGE 2000计划资助的研究以及其他科学调查。TowCam数码相机系统获得的图像提供了重要的视觉产品，用于公共宣传，使非科学家接触深海研究的兴奋，并在许多层面上吸引学生。
