An Autonomous Expendable Instrument System

私家侦探？我们建议开发一个自主可扩展仪器系统（AXIS），一个先进的探头自动发射系统，具有更高的容量，更大的互动性，更有效的操作比现有的研究为导向的设计。AXIS将简化使用一次性探测器的数据收集，促进新颖的交互式观测方法，并降低研究和商业船只部署探测器的运营成本和后勤复杂性。要求提供支持，以推动AXIS系统从现有的机械原型发展为一对功能齐全和经过实地测试的系统。AXIS的初步安装建议安装在R/V Oceanus和M/V Oleander上，后者是一艘集装箱船，正在继续进行一项为期30年的定期测量计划，横跨百慕大和新泽西之间的墨西哥湾流。 更广泛的影响：这项建议的更广泛的影响主要是改进抽样的社区利益。AXIS将有助于优化这些探头的采样。这将有助于减少海上人员需求和费用。双向通信方面使自适应采样成为可能，以解决瞬态或稀疏特征。没有明确提到教学或培训，虽然Fratantoni确实与研究生互动。

The PI?s propose to develop an Autonomous eXpendable Instrument System (AXIS), an advanced probe autolauncher system with higher capacity, greater interactivity, and more efficient operation than existing research-oriented designs. AXIS will streamline data collection using expendable probes, facilitate novel and interactive observational approaches, and reduce both the operational cost and logistical complexity of probe deployments from research and commercial vessels. Support is requested to advance AXIS development from an existing mechanical prototype to a pair of fully-functional and field-tested systems. Initial installation of AXIS is proposed aboard the R/V Oceanus and the M/V Oleander, a container vessel that is continuing a 30-year program of regular measurements spanning the Gulf Stream between Bermuda and New Jersey. Broader Impacts: The broader impacts of this proposal mainly the community benefits of improved sampling. AXIS will help to optimize sampling with these probes. It will help to reduce at-sea personnel requirements and costs. The 2-way communication aspect makes possible adaptive sampling to resolve transient or sparse features. There is no explicit mention of teaching or training, although Fratantoni does interact with graduate students.
