Oceanographic Instrumentation 2011

提出了一项申请，以资助R/V Marcus Langseth上的额外和后备仪器，一台235？具有一般海洋能力的全球地震船，由哥伦比亚大学Lamont-Doherty地球天文台作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分运营。该请求包括9个项目，按优先顺序列出：1)Teledyne RDI 75 kHz？海洋测量员？ADCP$119,0532)ApPlanix POS/MV V.4升级和amp；IMU更换$92,1743)不间断电源$56,1094)两个SBE-45 TSG$12,6235)声纳浮标电子组件$51,8066)Sippcan MK-21接口$8,3397)几何882磁强计$22,5508)EM-122水柱测井许可证$15,5329)哺乳动物缓释枪$22,230$400,416断路器影响：本提案的主要影响在标准2下，为科学家使用该船及其共用仪器提供基础设施支持，以支持他们的NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目分别由NSF的相关研究计划单独审查)。共享仪器的获取、维护和操作使任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员都可以获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。

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 capabilities operated by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The request includes nine items listed by priority:1) Teledyne RDI 75kHz ?Ocean Surveyor? ADCP $119,0532) Applanix POS/MV V.4 Upgrade & IMU Replacement $ 92,1743) Uninterruptable Power Sources $ 56,1094) Two SBE-45 TSGs $ 12,6235) Sonobuoy Electronics Package $ 51,8066) SIPPICAN MK-21 Interface $ 8,3397) GEOMETRICS 882 Magnetometer $ 22,5508) EM-122 Water Column Logging License $ 15,5329) Mammal Mitigation Gun $ 22,230 $400,416Broader Impacts: The principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two, providing infrastructure support for scientists to use the vessel and its shared-use instrumentation in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects (which individually undergo separate review by the relevant research program of NSF). 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.
