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

该提案要求支持美国海岸警卫队（USCG）在北极地区研究巡航的破冰船上提供海洋研究技术服务。该提案是斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（SIO）的船上技术支持（STS）部门与俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）的海洋技术人员小组（MTG）之间的合作，以提供最高水平的船上技术支持。该提案将使用一个北极船上技术支持模型，该模型遵循大学-国家海洋学实验室系统船队的最佳做法。将招募一名北极巡航协调员，专门负责根据现有的SIO和OSU方法创建和监督精确的巡航规划过程，并根据科学家在北极航行的需要进行修改。协调员将与各方合作，为每个巡航航段定制高效的人员配置和设备分配，并制定年度技术支持预算（在STS经理的监督下），并提交给NSF。如果利用海洋观测组织和海洋支助股的现有资源无法满足北极巡航的要求，协调员将寻求联合国海洋法办事处其他机构的海洋技术支助。教育和培训学生，新技术人员和USCG人员在海上使用技术和技术是该提案更广泛影响的一部分，从而扩大了支持美国海洋学研究的技术知识基础。SIO将支持与国家数据中心（如NSF支持的R2 R计划）合作获取和适当处理正在进行的船上数据，使数据可供学术界和公众使用。SIO和OSU将与NSF，USCG和北极破冰船协调委员会协调，以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.
