Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment - 2010

摘要：2010年6月2日提案编号：10133441机构：路易斯安那大学海洋联盟（LUMCON）PI: J. MalbroughCo-PI: D. guidry该提案要求为整个船队的有线监控硬件和软件的集体采购提供资金，以使美国学术研究船队中的9艘船符合2009年3月的研究船安全标准（RVSS）附录a，其中包括R/V PELICAN。RVSS附录A规定了电缆监测系统的最低要求（张力记录和显示率、警报等），以使船舶满足特定的安全工作负载（SWL）标准；SWL越低，要求越严格。SWL对海洋电线电缆的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。通过确保海洋电线监测系统符合当前的安全标准和最新的可用技术，此次团购将提高安全性并增强科学支持能力。更广泛的影响：R/V PELICAN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认识。在作业期间，这艘船经常让研究生和本科生接触海上海洋学。通过从船到岸的实时卫星连接、开放日活动、教育游船以及参与海洋先进技术教育（MATE）中心（这是一个以实习生为基础的海洋技术人员培训计划），公众宣传也得以实现。包括在这个团购中的船在2010年支持了数百个NSF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.
