Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2009

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助。迈阿密大学要求资金的额外和备份仪器的R/V沃尔顿史密斯96，？通用区域船和R/V Seward约翰逊a 204？，通用中型研究船R/V Walton Smith由迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院（RSMAS）和R/V Seward约翰逊由港口分支海洋研究所（HBOI）运营。 两者都是作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分运作的。 对海底下传感器的要求将与其他设备一起沿着提供资金，以供应船队。该奖项将包括5个独立的系统，每个系统的资金：俄勒冈州州斯科普斯伍兹霍尔迈阿密备用系统的舰队。更广泛的影响：收购，维护和操作的共享使用仪器允许美国国家科学基金会资助的研究人员从任何美国大学或实验室获得工作，校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在的研究人员的基础。特别是，在这个奖项中反映的团体购买的使用，是节省成本的措施，有利于整个车队。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The University of Miami requests funding for additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Walton Smith a 96,? general purpose regional vessel and R/V Seward Johnson a 204?, general purpose intermediate research vessel. R/V Walton Smith is operated by the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) and R/V Seward Johnson by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI). Both are operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The request for the sub-bottom transducers will be funded along with other units to supply the fleet. The award will include funds for 5 seperate systems, one each for:Oregon StateScrippsWoods HoleMiamiSpare system for fleet.Broader Impacts: The acquisition, maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers. In particular, the use of group purchases as is reflected in this award, are cost saving measures that benefit the entire fleet.
