Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2008

建议购买四件共享使用的科学仪器，用于分别由港口分支和迈阿密运营的R/V Seward约翰逊和R/V Walton Smith。这两艘船都由理查德·芬德利管理，作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。 PI优先考虑的四个项目是：1）R/V Walton Smith上POS/MV 320系统的升级2）回声测深仪测试装置3）集成光学船首传感器套件4）水文显示&处理软件更广泛的影响：在本提案中，建议支助的项目为成本效益高的基本仪器提供了重要的共用基础设施能力，并将显著提高R/V Seward约翰逊号和R/V Walton Smith号用户的能力，这两艘船为来自美国各地的各种调查人员提供服务。迈阿密和港口分支技术支持小组拥有操作和支持船上推荐系统的专业知识。

Proposal to acquire four items of shared-use scientific instrumentation for use on R/V Seward Johnson and R/V Walton Smith, operated by Harbor Branch and University of Miami respectively. Both vessels are managed by Richard Findley as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The four items requested, as prioritized by the PI, are: 1) Upgrade of POS/MV 320 System aboard R/V Walton Smith2) Echo Sounder Test Set 3) Integrated Optical Bow Sensor Suite 4) Hydrographic Display & Processing SoftwareBroader impacts: In the present proposal, the items recommended for support provide an important shared-use infrastructure capability for basic instrumentation that is cost-effective, and will significantly improve capabilities for users of R/V Seward Johnson and R/V Walton Smith, which service a diverse group of investigators from around the U.S. The Miama and Harbor Branch technical support groups have the expertise to operate and support the recommended systems on the vessels.
