2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

摘要2009年7月9日提案编号：0940453机构：伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）主要研究者： A.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OCEANUS。 这些请求特别包括过去NSF检查、海军INSURV或巡航后评估（PCA）推荐的项目，以及由于成本原因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： 伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所的船只支持联邦资助的科学研究在世界各地的海洋和定期暴露研究生和本科生的海洋学。 世界卫生组织还参与了大量的外联方案，包括海上船只的网络广播、开放日活动和其他举措，如与潜水器ALVIN一起潜水和探索。 总的来说，WHOI船只计划在2009年完成超过560个NSF赞助日。

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.
