2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment for R/V Atlantic Explorer

2009年7月10日建议编号：0918422机构：百慕大海洋科学研究所该奖项由《2009年美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助。提案要求为百慕大海洋科学研究所运营的船只，即R/V大西洋探险者号提供大量船上科学支持(SSSE)项目。这些请求特别包括从过去的NSF检查、海军INSURV或邮轮后评估(PCA)中建议的项目，以及运营商因成本原因而推迟的项目。所有要求的物品要么提高了安全性，增强了科学保障能力，要么延长了船只的使用寿命。由于这些请求的性质和时间，SSSE方案通常要求的供应商报价标准由于必要而被放弃，其中许多数字作为预算目的估计，主要基于船舶运营商过去从事类似工作的经验。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探测器也是为百慕大大西洋时间序列研究(BATS)站提供常规服务的船只。在运营期间，这艘船通常会通过船到岸的实时卫星连接和开放活动，让研究生和本科生接触到海洋海洋学。总而言之，这位大西洋探险者计划在2009年完成近140天的NSF赞助活动。

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.
