2009 OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTRUMENTATION

要求为Marcus Langseth号研究船提供额外和备用仪器的资金，这是一艘235英尺的全球地震船，配备一般海洋学仪器，由哥伦比亚大学Lamont-Doherty地球观测站操作，作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该奖项包括以下五个项目：1）声源脐带缆2）MCS数字空气管理歧管3）MCS流级设备升级4）声源脐带缆x 45）叶片拖丝更广泛的影响：共享使用仪器的收购，维护和操作允许NSF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，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。对R/V Langseth的地震源阵列的增强将为该船提供更高的能力，以进行最新的地震研究。她是世界上唯一一艘专门用于科学研究并能够进行三维地震勘探的船只。

A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Marcus Langseth, a 235' Global seismic vessel with general oceanographic operated by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The award includes the following five items:1) Sound Source Umbilicals2) MCS Digital Air Management Manifolds3) MCS Streamer Level Device Upgrade 4) Sound Source Umbilicals x 45) Vane Tow Wire 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. The enhansements to the seismic source array of R/V Langseth will provide the vessel with heightened abilities to perform state-of-the-are seismic reseach. She is the only vessel in the world that is dedicated to scientific research and capable of performing 3D seismic exploration.
