Oceanographic Instrumentation: R/V CAPE HATTERAS

请求为R/V Cape Hatteras号提供额外和备用仪器，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/杜克大学海洋学联合会运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。提交了5个项目供审查。按优先顺序排列，它们是：1）透射仪4，0572）海洋仪器多芯取样器800 3）海洋仪器Mark-III箱式取样器 4）pH传感器 1，4555美元）荧光计-CTD流通& 二万九千七百三十三元 总 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。

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.
