Collaborative Research: Ship-based Science Technical Support in the Arctic 2011

该提案要求提供支持，以加强美国海岸警卫队(USCG)在其破冰船上为北极地区的研究巡航提供的海洋研究技术服务。这项提议是斯克里普斯海洋研究所(SIO)的舰载技术支持(STS)部门和俄勒冈州立大学(OSU)的海洋技术员小组(MTG)合作的，目的是提供尽可能高水平的舰载技术支持。该提案将采用遵循大学-国家海洋学实验室系统(海洋实验室系统)舰队最佳做法的北极舰船技术支持模式。将招聘一名北极邮轮协调员，专门负责根据现有的SIO和OSU方法创建和监督预先规划流程，这些方法进行了修改，以适应在北极航行的USCG切割器上的科学家的需求。协调员将与各方合作，为每个邮轮航段定制高效的人员和设备分配，并(在STS经理的监督下)制定年度技术支持预算，该预算将提交给国家科学基金会。如果使用SIO和OSU的现有资源不能满足北极巡航的要求，协调员将向联索政治处其他机构寻求海洋技术支持。对学生、新技术人员和USCG人员进行在海上使用技术和技术的教育和培训是该提案更广泛影响的一部分，从而扩大了支持美国海洋研究的技术知识库。SIO将与NSF支持的R2R计划等国家数据中心合作，支持获取和适当处理在航船载数据，使数据可供学术界和广大公众使用。SIO和OSU将与NSF、USCG和北极破冰船协调委员会协调，确定船上科学设备维护和升级的优先事项。

This proposal requests support to augment the marine research technical services provided by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) on their icebreakers for research cruises in the arctic region. This proposal is a collaborative between the Shipboard Technical Support (STS) department at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and the Marine Technician Group (MTG) at Oregon State University (OSU) to provide the highest level of shipboard technical support possible. The proposal will use a model for arctic shipboard technical support that follows best practices of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet. An Arctic Cruise Coordinator will be recruited with the exclusive responsibility for creating and overseeing a precruise planning process based on existing SIO and OSU methods, modified to suit the needs of scientists sailing on the USCG cutters in the arctic. The Coordinator will work with all parties to develop efficient staffing and equipment assignments customized for each cruise leg, and develop an annual technical support budget (under the supervision of the STS manager) that will be submitted to NSF. If the requirements for an Arctic cruise cannot be met using the available resources of SIO and OSU, then the Coordinator will solicit marine technical support from other UNOLS institutions. Education and training of students, new technicians and USCG personnel in use of technology and techniques at sea is part of the broader impacts of this proposal, thus broadening the technical knowledge base that supports U.S. oceanographic research. SIO will support the acquisition and appropriate handling of underway shipboard data in concert with national data centers such as the NSF-supported R2R program, making data available to the academic community and the public at large. SIO and OSU will coordinate with NSF, USCG and the Arctic Icebreaker Coordinating Committee to define priorities for maintenance and upgrades to science equipment onboard.
