Oceanographic Instrumentation 2010

一个请求是资助额外的和备份仪器的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研究船队的一部分运营的。该请求包括按优先级列出的两个项目：1）Knudsen Chirp 3260深水回声测深仪系统2）低C85-12 -80 ° C冰箱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资助的研究人员使用工作、校准的仪器进行研究，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.
