Oceanographic Instrumentation

一个请求是资助额外的和备份仪器的R/V罗杰Revelle，一个273？通用全球船只; R/V梅尔维尔，a 279？通用全球船舶; R/V新地平线，170？，通用，海洋/中间船和R/V斯普劳尔，一个125？一般用途沿海/本地船只。所有四艘船都由斯克里普斯海洋学研究所运营，作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。R/V Roger Revelle和R/V梅尔维尔都是全球船只，支持世界各地的多学科海洋学研究。的海洋盆地。R/V新地平线主要集中在近海加州，但已用于整个太平洋的工作。R/V Sproul的主要工作区域是南加州外的大陆架和沿海环境。2013年，“罗杰·雷维尔”轮计划工期247天，NSF工期占总工期的31%;“梅尔维尔”轮计划工期316天，NSF工期占总工期的44%;“新地平线”轮计划工期157天，NSF工期占总工期的50%。R/V Sproul是一艘由加州州拥有的船舶，2013年没有NSF天数，目前只有一天在船上得到资助。本提案中要求的海洋仪器包括RDI 150 KHz OS ADCP 66，110 H2000潜水器备件21，567 H2000潜水器电缆和修改57，081 10 m2 MOCNESS组件46，279美元总计191美元，037更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南的标准二。它们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）。 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 on the R/V Roger Revelle, a 273? general purpose Global vessel; the R/V Melville, a 279?general purpose Global vessel; the R/V New Horizon, a 170?, general purpose, Ocean/Intermediate vessel and the R/V Sproul, a 125? general purpose Coastal/Local vessel. All four vessels are operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Both R/V Roger Revelle and R/V Melville are Global vessels and support multidisciplinary oceanographic research in all of the world?s ocean basins. R/V New Horizon focuses primarily on offshore California but has been used for work throughout the Pacific. The primary working area for R/V Sproul has been the continental shelf and coastal environments off Southern California. In 2013, R/V Roger Revelle is scheduled for 247 days with NSF days accounting for 31% of the total sailing schedule; R/V Melville is scheduled for 316 days with NSF days accounting for 44% of the total sailing schedule; and R/V New Horizon is scheduled for 157 days with NSF days accounting for 50% of the total sailing schedule. R/V Sproul, a vessel owned by the State of California, has no NSF days in 2013 and only one day currently funded on the vessel.Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includesRDI 150 KHz OS ADCP $66,110 H2000 ROV Spares $21,567 H2000 ROV Cable and Modifications $57,081 10m2 MOCNESS Components $46,279 TOTAL $191,037 Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two of the Proposal Guidelines. They provide 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.
