2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

摘要2009年7月28日提案编号：0921050机构：杜克大学海洋研究所PI： B。CorlissCo-PI：J. Ustach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。该提案要求为杜克大学海洋实验室运营的船舶提供许多船上科学支持设备（SSSE）项目;即R/V CAPE HATTERAS。 这些请求特别包括过去NSF检查或巡航后评估（PCA）建议的项目，以及由于成本而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： 该R/V CAPE HATTERAS支持联邦资助的科学研究在东南大西洋，以扩大人类对海洋环境的知识。 在作业期间，该船定期让研究生和本科生接触航海海洋学。 还通过从船舶到海岸的实时卫星连接、开放日活动、教育巡航以及向当地海洋生物学教室提供船舶数据，实现了公共外联。 该海角哈特拉斯计划在2009年完成超过115个国家科学基金会赞助天。

ABSTRACT 28 July 2009Proposal Number: 0921050Institution: Duke University Marine LaboratoryPI: B. CorlissCo-PI: J. UstachThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The proposal requests numerous Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) items for the vessel operated by Duke University Marine Laboratory; namely the R/V CAPE HATTERAS. The requests specifically include items that have been recommended from past NSF inspections, 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 R/V CAPE HATTERAS supports federally funded scientific research in the southeast Atlantic in order to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Pubic outreach is also achieved through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, open house events, educational cruises, and providing ship's data to local marine biology classrooms. The CAPE HATTERAS is scheduled to complete over 115 NSF sponsored days in 2009.
