Oceanographic Instrumentation 2012

华盛顿大学提出申请，为R/V Thompson，一台274？通用全球级考察船和R/V Barnes号66英尺长的沿海考察船都是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。这些平台为开展由国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构资助的海洋学研究提供了设施。他们提议购买的仪器将为两艘船上的项目提供操作灵活性，将解决2011年秋季NSF船只检查期间注意到的一些缺陷，并将提高他们在资助的邮轮之间过境期间进行有用科学和数据收集的能力。按照优先顺序，他们建议购买以下产品：1.安立MS2821B频谱分析仪13,4872美元。Mystaire FE-2620无管道通风柜(每个2个)8,9513美元。McLane大容量原位采样器WTS-LV04(每个4个)129,5584美元。海洋科学集团正在进行79,2585美元的CTD。SBE911plus系列上行链路改造和升级(每个3个)15,319美元总计246,573美元广泛影响：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 by the University of Washington to fund additional and replacement instrumentation for the R/V Thompson, a 274? general purpose, global class research vessel, and R/V Barnes, a 66-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. These platforms provide facilities for conducting oceanographic research funded by the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies. The instrumentation they propose to acquire will provide operational flexibility to projects that are embarked upon both vessels, will address some deficiencies noted during the fall 2011 NSF vessel inspections, and will increase their capacity to do useful science and data collection during transits between funded cruises.. In order of priority, they propose to purchase the following: 1. Anritsu MS2821B spectrum analyzer $13,4872. Mystaire FE-2620 ductless fume hoods (2 each) $8,9513. McLane large volume in situ samplers WTS-LV04 (4 each) $129,5584. Oceansciences Group underway CTD $79,2585. SBE911plus serial uplink modifications and upgrade (3 each) $15,319 Total $246,573Broader 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.
