University of Hawaii Oceanographic Instrumentation CY2007

翻译后摘要：该奖项提供资金，以收购项目的共享使用的科学仪器，用于对两个研究船（R/V基拉莫阿纳和R/V KOK）由夏威夷大学的一部分，大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队。2007年，这些船只将共同支持总共318天的科学研究。这一赔偿额反映了由于船期的改变和设备的损失而作出的修改和重新确定的优先次序。 具体而言，建议支持1。用于部署和恢复仪器的硬件2.甲板绞盘改进3.海洋学传感器冗余HiSeasNet 5的频谱分析仪。船载联网仪器6.疏浚硬件7.海底剖面仪升级 * 拖缆和拖鱼设备要求但建议中省略的项目包括Soundmetrics DIDSON远程成像声纳。本合同还建议更换原提案中未包括的移动船舶剖面仪系统的拖缆和拖鱼。这些物品在2006年的航行中丢失，必须在2007年的航行中更换。 计划很高兴建议如上所述的支持，注意到该提案得到了审查人员的好评，并明确确定了所要求的仪器的需求和计划用途。 这里建议的支助项目应能大大提高夏威夷大学两艘研究船的能力，使它们成为2007年及以后进行科学研究航行的更有效平台。它们将为具有成本效益的基础海洋学研究提供重要的共用基础设施能力，并应确保代表来自美国各地的不同调查小组进行适当的维护和校准。夏威夷大学技术支持小组拥有维护和操作推荐系统的专业知识。

Abstract:This award provides funding to acquire items of shared-use scientific instrumentation intended for use on the two research vessels (R/V Kila Moana and R/V KOK) operated by the University of Hawaii as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Together, these vessels will support a total of 318 days of scientific research in 2007. This award reflects a modification and reprioritization due to changes in ship schedules and lost equipment. Specifically, support is recommended for 1. Hardware for deployment and recovery of instruments2. Deck capstan improvements3. Oceanographic sensor redundancy4. Spectrum analyzer for HiSeasNet5. Shipboard networking instrumentation6. Dredging hardware7. Subbottom profiler upgrade* tow cable and tow fish replacementItems requested but omitted from the recommendation include the Soundmetrics DIDSON remote imaging sonar. Replacement of a tow cable and tow fish for a moving vessel profiler system that was not part of the original proposal is also recommended via this award. These items were lost during operations in 2006 and must be replaced for cruises scheduled in 2007. Program is pleased to recommend support as described above, noting that the proposal was well received by reviewers, and clearly identified the needs and planned uses of the instrumentation requested. The items recommended for support here should substantially improve the capabilities of the two University of Hawaii research vessels, and make them more effective platforms for implementing scientific research cruises in 2007 and beyond. They will provide an important shared-use infrastructure capability for basic oceanographic research that is cost-effective, and should ensure that proper maintenance and calibration will be undertaken on behalf of a diverse group of investigators from around the U.S. The University of Hawaii technical support group has the expertise to maintain and operate the recommended systems.
