Acquisition of Gyro-stabilized BGM-3 Gravimeters for Academic Science and Implementation on UNOLS Vessels

0705964福尔纳里 授予伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的这一合同将为在研究船上购置、校准和安装四台陀螺稳定重力仪以及另外两台装置提供支持，这两台装置将部署在机会船或其他潜艇、陆地或航空器上进行地球物理研究。 这里支持的仪器将使能够获取高分辨率重力数据的美国学术研究船的数量从3艘增加到7艘。 安装的仪器将由每个机构的船上技术小组提供支持，另外两个由海军海洋学办公室（NAVOCEANO）根据NSF、ONR和NAVOCEANO之间关于海洋科学研究共用重力仪的现有协议备忘录提供支持。 这一新能力将大大提高研究界开展海洋重力研究项目的能力。更广泛的影响：这些共用仪器将广泛用于学术研究船上，两个装置也将在适当规划的情况下用于其他机会船、潜水器、飞机或其他平台上的专门用途。

0705964Fornari This award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution provides support for the acquisition, calibration and installation of four gyro-stabilized gravimeters on research vessels plus and two additional units to be deployed for geophysical research on vessels of opportunity or other submarine, terrestrial or aerial vehicles. The instruments supported here will expand the number of US academic research ships capable of acquiring high resolution gravity data from three to seven. The installed instruments will be supported by the shipboard technical groups at each institution, with support for the other two provided by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) under an existing Memorandum of Agreement among NSF, ONR and NAVOCEANO for shared use of gravimeters for ocean sciences research. This new capability will substantially expand the research community's capability to undertake marine gravity research projects.Broader Impacts: These shared-use instruments will be widely available for use on academic research vessels, and two units will also be available for specialized use on other ships of opportunity, submersibles, aircraft or other platforms with proper planning.***
