East Coast Winch Pool Facility

2009年7月31日建议编号：0943311机构：伍兹霍尔海洋研究所(WHOI)PI：D.FisichellaCo-Pi：S.Humphris本奖项由《2009年美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助。这项提议要求提供资金，以启动联合国后勤服务组织东海岸温泉池，该池将支持美国学术研究船船队中的船只以及其他美国政府拥有的研究船上的科学作业。提供的大部分资金将购买具有先进的下一代？的便携式绞车和处理系统？将加强安全和海上科学数据收集的能力。东海岸绞车池第一年的资金将包括购买和/或维护和升级以下产品：1.便携式通用绞车(轻型、中型和0.680)2.R/V KNORR3上的长芯系统。便携式电缆支架4。Jason ROV搬运系统这些绞车和搬运系统将支持联合国内罗毕办事处所有船只上的各种任务。联合国后勤基地东海岸绞盘池和斯克里普斯相应的西海岸绞盘池还将用于确保设备符合联合国后勤基地的现行标准，提供通用设计，并为学术机队和整个科学界提供适当的维护、行政和后勤支助。购买的共用设备以及为支持这些设备而建立的管理结构将为船舶运营商和科学界提供更好的服务。Winch Pool结构还将确保设备的适当维护、设计的通用性、遵守当前标准，以及在后勤、跟踪和监督共享使用资产方面提高NSF的效率。所支持的研究项目都经过了个别同行评审，以确定其科学价值。伍兹霍尔海洋研究所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？潜水和发现？和阿尔文号潜水器。

ABSTRACT 31 July 2009Proposal Number: 0943311Institution: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)PI: D. FisichellaCo-PI: S. HumphrisThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This proposal requests funding to initiate the UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool which will support scientific operations aboard vessels in the US academic research vessel fleet as well as other US government-owned research vessels. The bulk of the funds provided will purchase portable winches and handling systems having advanced ?next-generations? capabilities that will enhance safety and the collection of scientific data at sea. This first year of funding for the East Coast Winch Pool will include purchase and/or maintenance and up-grade of the following:1. Portable, general-purpose winches (Light-duty, Medium-duty, and 0.680)2. Long Core System aboard the R/V KNORR3. Portable Cable Spoolers4. JASON ROV Handling SystemThese winches and handling systems will support a wide variety missions on all UNOLS vessels. The UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool, and corresponding West Coast Winch Pool at Scripps, will also serve to ensure that the equipment meets current UNOLS standards, provides commonality of design, and provides proper maintenance, administrative and logistical support to the academic fleet and the science community at large.Broader Impacts: The PI addressed the Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit of the proposed UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool. The shared-use equipment purchased, and the administrative structure established to support the equipment, will provide improved services to both the vessel operators and the scientific community. The Winch Pool structure will also ensure proper maintenance of equipment, commonality of design, compliance with current standards, and efficiencies to NSF with regard to logistics, tracking and oversight of shared-use assets. The research projects supported have been individually peer-reviewed for scientific merit. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute 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.
