Oceanographic Instrumentation

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。请求为R/V Point Sur上的额外和备用仪器提供资金。通用区域研究船。该船由Moss Landing海洋实验室运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该请求包括按优先顺序列出的三个项目：1)塔克拖网，框架，TDR 2)束拖网更广泛的影响：共享使用仪器的获取，维护和操作允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的nsf资助的研究人员为他们的研究使用工作，校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。获得改进的、共享使用的中水和底栖生物取样设备将增强R/V Pt. Sur支持有意义研究的能力。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Point Sur, a 135? general purpose Regional research vessel. The vessel is operated by Moss Landing Marine Labs as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The request includes three items listed by priority: 1) Tucker trawl nets, frame, TDR 2) Beam Trawl netsBroader Impacts: The acquisition, maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers. The acquisition of improved, shared use, mid-water and benthic sampling devices will enhanse the R/V Pt. Sur's ability to support meaningful research.
