A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation for the R/V Savannah. The R/V Savannah is a 92 foot coastal research vessel operated by Skidaway Institute of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet.Since put into service in the fall of 2001, this 92-foot coastal/local class research vessel has proven to be a capable and cost-effective platform for a range of research and education projects. The primary working area for the vessel has been the continental shelf, coastal and estuarine environments of the Southeastern United States. The ship has also conducted cruises that have crossed the Gulf Stream into the western Sargasso Sea and as far as Curacao in the SE Caribbean. In 2011, the R/V Savannah completed 140 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 62% of the total sailing schedule. In 2012, R/V Savannah is scheduled for 161 days with NSF days accounting for 61% of the total sailing schedule.Oceanographic instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) Multibeam data collection and analysis system $24,3752) Portable clean water system $11,369 TOTAL $35,744Broader 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.

请求为研究船萨凡纳的额外和备用仪器提供资金。R/V萨凡纳号是一艘92英尺长的沿海研究船，由斯基达韦海洋研究所经营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。自2001年秋季投入使用以来，这艘92英尺长的沿海/地方级研究船已被证明是一系列研究和教育项目的能力和成本效益高的平台。该船的主要工作区域是美国东南部的大陆架、沿海和河口环境。该船还进行了巡航，已越过墨西哥湾流进入西部马尾藻海，并尽可能库拉考在加勒比东南部。2011年，R/V萨凡纳号完成了140天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占总航行时间表的62%。2012年萨凡纳号R/V计划161天，NSF天数占总船期的61%，本建议书要求的海洋学仪器包括：1）多波束数据采集和分析系统24,3752美元）便携式净水系统11369美元 更广泛的影响：本提案的主要影响是在标准二下，为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享使用的仪器，以支持他们的NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查）。 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、校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。
