Oceanographic Instrumentation 2010

请求为汤姆斯·汤姆逊号航天飞机提供额外的备用仪器。通用全球科考船和66号克利福德·巴恩斯号通用海岸船。这两艘船都由华盛顿大学运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该请求包括优先列出的两个项目：1)Knudsen Chirp 3260深水回声测深系统2)So-Low C85-12 -80°C冷冻机更广泛的影响：共享使用仪器的获取，维护和操作允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的nsf资助的研究人员为他们的研究工作，校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。

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 research fleet. The request includes two items listed by priority: 1) Knudsen Chirp 3260 Deep Water Echosounder System 2) So-Low C85-12 -80°C freezerBroader 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.
