Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment - 2010

2010年6月2日建议编号：1013341机构：路易斯安那大学海洋联盟(LUMCON)PI：J.MalbroughCo-Pi：D.Guidry该提案要求为全舰队范围内的电线监控硬件和软件采购提供资金，以使美国学术研究船队中的九(9)艘船符合2009年3月研究船安全标准(RVSS)附录A，包括R/V鹈鹕。RVSS附录A规定了电缆监控系统(张力记录和显示速率、警报等)的最低要求。为了使船舶达到特定的安全工作负荷(SWL)标准，SWL越低，要求越严格。海洋电线和电缆的SWL要求低于岸上使用的标准，以满足科学设备的部署要求，特别是在整个海洋深度。这次团购将通过确保海洋电线监测系统符合当前安全标准和最新可用技术来提高安全性和增强科学支持能力。广泛影响：R/V鹈鹕支持联邦政府资助的墨西哥湾科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的了解。在运营期间，这艘船通常会让研究生和本科生接触海洋海洋学。此外，还通过船到岸的实时卫星连接、开放参观活动、教育巡航以及参与海洋高级技术教育(Mate)中心实现公众宣传，Mate中心是一个以实习生为基础的海洋技术人员培训计划。此次团购包括的船只在2010年支持了数百个美国国家科学基金会赞助的日子。

ABSTRACT 02 June 2010Proposal Number: 1013341Institution: Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON)PI: J. MalbroughCo-PI: D. GuidryThe proposal requests funding for a fleet-wide group purchase of wire monitoring hardware and software to bring nine (9) vessels in the US academic research vessel fleet into compliance with Appendix A, of the Research Vessel Safety Standards (RVSS), March 2009 including the R/V PELICAN. Appendix A of the RVSS specifies minimum requirements for cable monitoring systems (tension recording and display rates, alarms, etc.) in order for the vessel to meet specific Safe Working Load (SWL) criteria; the lower the SWL, the more stringent the requirements. SWL requirements for oceanographic wires and cable are lower than standards used ashore in order to meet science equipment deployment requirements particularly at full ocean depths. This group purchase will improve safety and enhance science support capability by ensuring oceanographic wire monitoring systems are in compliance with the current safety standards and latest available technology.Broader Impacts: The R/V PELICAN supports federally funded scientific research in the Gulf of Mexico in order to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Pubic outreach is also achieved through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, open house events, educational cruises, and involvement in the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center which is an intern-based training program for marine technicians. The ships included in this group purchase support hundreds of NSF sponsored days in 2010.
