Oceanographic Instrumentation: R/V CAPE HATTERAS

请求为哈特拉斯角R/V号的额外和后备仪器提供经费，这是一艘136英尺长的研究船，由国家科学基金会拥有，由杜克大学/北卡罗来纳大学海洋学联盟运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。提交了五个项目供审查。按优先顺序排列：1)透射计$4,0572)海洋仪器多芯取样器800$35,845 3)海洋仪器Mark-III盒式取样器$34,980 4)pH传感器$1,4555)荧光计-CTD&AMP；流转29,733美元总计106,070美元更广泛的影响：本提案的主要影响是在标准2下，为科学家提供基础设施支持，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 for the R/V Cape Hatteras, a 136-ft long research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the Duke/UNC Oceanographic Consortium as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Five items were submitted for review. In order of priority they were:1) Transmissometer $4,0572) Ocean Instruments Multi-Corer 800 $ 35,845 3) Ocean Instruments Mark-III Box Corer $ 34,980 4) pH sensor $1,4555) Fluorometers-CTD & Flow-through $ 29,733 TOTAL $106,070 Broader 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.
