2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment for R/V Atlantic Explorer

摘要2009年7月10日提案编号：0918422机构：百慕大海洋科学研究所PI： W. Wilcock Co-PI：R.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。该提案要求为百慕大海洋科学研究所运营的船舶提供许多船上科学支持（SSSE）项目;即R/V ATLANTIC EXPLORER。 这些请求特别包括过去NSF检查、海军INSURV或巡航后评估（PCA）推荐的项目，以及由于成本原因被运营商推迟的项目。 所有要求的项目都将提高安全性，增强科学支持能力，或延长船舶使用寿命。 由于这些要求的性质和时间，SSSE计划通常要求的供应商报价标准被免除，其中许多数字是出于预算目的提供的估计数，主要基于船舶运营商过去类似工作的经验。 更广泛的影响： 百慕大海洋科学研究所的船只支持联邦资助的整个大西洋盆地的科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的了解。 ATLANITC EXPLORER号还定期为百慕大大西洋时间序列研究站提供服务。 在运营期间，该船通过从船到海岸的实时卫星连接和开放日活动，定期向研究生和本科生介绍航海海洋学。 总的来说，大西洋探险者计划在2009年完成近140个NSF赞助的日子。

ABSTRACT 10 July 2009Proposal Number: 0918422Institution: Bermuda Institute of Ocean SciencesPI: W. WilcockCo-PI: R. HarelstadThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The proposal requests numerous Shipboard Scientific Support (SSSE) items for the vessel operated by the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences; namely the R/V ATLANTIC EXPLORER. The requests specifically include items that have been recommended from past NSF inspections, Navy INSURV's, or Post-Cruise Assessments (PCA's) and have been otherwise deferred by the operators due to cost. All of the items requested will either improve safety, enhance science support capability, or extend vessel service life. Due to the nature and timing of these requests, the vendor quotation standards normally required by the SSSE Program were waived out of necessity with many of the figures provided as estimates for budgetary purposes and based mainly on past experience of the vessel operators for similar work. Broader Impacts: The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences vessel supports federally funded scientific research throughout the Atlantic basin to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. The ATLANITC EXPLORER is the vessel that also routinely services the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) stations. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, and open house events. All told, the ATLANTIC EXPLORER is scheduled to complete nearly 140 NSF sponsored days in 2009.
