The University of Miami requests funding for additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Walton Smith, a 96,? general purpose regional vessel operated by the University of Miami?s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The R/V WALTON SMITH conducts a substantial portion of her operations in the near shore waters of South Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, providing scientific information relevant to major environmental initiatives. The operations include oil spill monitoring, water management changes, municipal waste disposal, and storm water discharge among others which are deemed critical to the sustainable development of the South Florida and Gulf economy. In 2012, R/V Walton Smith completed 143 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 25% of the total sailing schedule. In 2013, R/V Walton Smith is scheduled for 108 days with NSF days accounting for 17% of the total sailing schedule.Oceanographic instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) 1m MOCNESS Overhaul and Spares $15,890 2) POSMV Upgrade $97,089 3) Nisken Water Sampler $10,000 4) Altimeter of use with CTD Systems $3,910 5) Integrated Optical Bow Sensor Suite $21,751 TOTAL $148,640 Broader Impacts The 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.

迈阿密大学要求为R/V沃尔顿史密斯，一个96，？迈阿密大学运营的通用区域性船舶？罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院（RSMAS）是大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。 研究船沃尔顿史密斯号在南佛罗里达和墨西哥湾的近海岸沃茨开展了大部分作业，提供与重大环境倡议相关的科学信息。这些业务包括溢油监测、水管理变化、城市废物处理和雨水排放等，这些业务被认为对南佛罗里达和海湾经济的可持续发展至关重要。 2012年，R/V沃尔顿史密斯在海上完成了143天。NSF资助的项目占总航行时间表的25%。2013年，“沃尔顿·史密斯”轮计划航行108天，NSF天数占总航行计划的17%，本建议书要求的海洋学仪器包括：1）1米MOCNESS大修和备件15，890美元2）POSMV升级97，089美元3）Nisken水采样器10，000美元4）与CTD系统一起使用的高度计3，910 5）集成光学船首传感器套件21 751美元总计148 640美元更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是在提案指南的标准二下。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。
