2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

2009年7月9日建议编号：0940453机构：伍兹霍尔海洋研究所(WHOI)PI：A.成功该奖项由《2009年美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助。提案要求为伍兹霍尔海洋研究所运营的船只提供大量船上科学支持(SSSE)项目，即R/V Atlantis、Knorr和Ocean。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：伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的船只支持世界各地由联邦政府资助的科学研究，并经常让研究生和本科生接触海洋海洋学。世界卫生组织还参与了大量的外展计划，包括海上船只的网络广播、开放参观活动，以及其他倡议，如潜水和阿尔文号发现。总而言之，WHOI船只计划在2009年完成超过560天的NSF赞助活动。

ABSTRACT 09 July 2009Proposal Number: 0940453Institution: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)PI: A. SuchyThis 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 vessels operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute; namely the R/V ATLANTIS, KNORR, and OCEANUS. 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 operator 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: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute vessels support federally-funded scientific research throughout the world's oceans and routinely expose graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. WHOI also participates in a large number of outreach programs including web broadcasts from vessel while at sea, open house events, and other initiatives such as Dive and Discover with the submersible ALVIN. All told, WHOI vessels are scheduled to complete over 560 NSF sponsored days in 2009.
