Oceanographic Instrumentation Enhancements 2009

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。要求为R/V托马斯汤普森，一个274？通用全球研究船和R/V克利福德巴恩斯，一个66？一般用途的沿海船只。这两艘船都是由华盛顿大学作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分运营的。该奖项包括五个项目：1）XBT发射器和MK21 USB DAQ 2）R. V.巴恩斯CTD系统的备用传感器套件3）300 kHz LADCP，用于R. V.巴恩斯或R. V. Thompson 4)邦戈网 5)SBE 19 + CTD分析仪/SBE 55六瓶转盘更广泛的影响：共享使用仪器的购买，维护和操作允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作，校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。这两艘船在普吉湾地区的外联和教育机会方面发挥着重要作用。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Thomas Thompson, a 274? general purpose Global research vessel and the R/V Clifford Barnes, a 66? general purpose Coastal vessel. Both vessels are operated by the University of Washington as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The award includes five items: 1) XBT launchers and MK21 USB DAQ 2) Spare sensor suite for R.V. Barnes CTD system 3) 300 kHz LADCP, for use on either R.V. Barnes or R.V. Thompson 4) Bongo net 5) SBE19+ CTD profiler/SBE55 six bottle carouselBroader 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. Both of these vessels play an important role in outreach and educational opportunities in the Puget Sound Area.
