Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) proposes to support technical services on two global class research vessels, both operated as part of the U.S. Academic Fleet which is scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Ships to be supported are R/V Atlantis, a 274? general purpose research vessel and R/V Knorr, a 279? vessel of the same class. R/V Oceanus, a 177? intermediate class vessel, changed from a ship operated by WHOI to a vessel operated by Oregon State University. Support is requested for the period of transition in 2012, roughly 28 days. As part of their basic operations WHOI will provide two technicians on each seagoing research project, and will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation, including use of the multibeam bathymetric sonars on Atlantis and Knorr. WHOI also proposes to provide several elements of specialized support for investigators, with separate charges. Specialized support requested for 2012 include 1) Support for Sea Education Association (SEA) 2) Tech Pool Pilot Program 3) Support for the Vertical Plankton Recorded (VPR). 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 support of 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.

伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所（WHOI）提议支持两艘全球级研究船的技术服务，这两艘船都是美国学术船队的一部分，由大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）安排。 要支援的船只是R/V亚特兰蒂斯号，一艘274？通用研究船和R/V Knorr，a 279？同一级别的船只。 R/V Oceanus，A 177？中级船舶，由WHOI运营的船舶变更为俄勒冈州州立大学运营的船舶。 请求为2012年大约28天的过渡期提供支助。 作为其基本业务的一部分，世界卫生组织将为每个海上研究项目提供两名技术员，并将维护、校准和向合格用户提供其共用研究仪器库中的物品，包括使用Atlantis和Knorr上的多波束测深声纳。世界卫生组织还提议为调查人员提供若干专门支助，并单独收费。2012年请求的专门支持包括1）支持海洋教育协会（SEA）2）技术池试点计划3）支持垂直浮游生物记录（VPR）。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来支持他们的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）。对共享使用仪器的维护和操作的支持允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员访问工作，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。
