2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

摘要：2009年7月28日提案号：0921050机构：杜克大学海洋实验室ypi: B. corlisco - pi: J. ustach2009美国复苏与再投资法案（公法111-5）资助该奖项。该提案要求为杜克大学海洋实验室操作的船舶提供大量船上科学支持设备（SSSE）项目；也就是R/V CAPE HATTERAS。这些要求特别包括过去NSF检查或巡航后评估（PCA）中推荐的项目，以及由于成本原因而被运营商推迟的项目。所要求的所有项目要么将提高安全性，增强科学支持能力，要么延长船舶的使用寿命。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放弃，其中许多数字是出于预算目的而提供的估计，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：R/V CAPE HATTERAS支持联邦政府资助的东南大西洋科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的认识。在作业期间，这艘船经常让研究生和本科生接触海上海洋学。通过从船上到岸上的实时卫星连接、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，还实现了公众外展。CAPE HATTERAS计划在2009年完成超过115天的NSF赞助。

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.
