2015 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

要求为R/V Atlantis（274？由伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所运营的全球船只，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该船由美国海军拥有，拥有最先进的仪器，并支持海洋学研究的所有学科。环球号船可容纳多达32人的科学小组，为期60天。这艘船在全世界都能用吗美国海洋科学基金主要由美国政府机构资助。R/V Atlantis专门用于发射和维修Alvin，载人潜水器以及国家深潜设施（NDSF）的其他车辆。克诺尔号R/V在学术舰队服役30多年后，于2014年退役。2014年，克诺尔号R/V完成了251天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占总航行时间表（128天）的51%。R/V Atlantis在2014年完成了316天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占总航行时间表（291天）的92%。2015年，亚特兰蒂斯号计划运行285天，NSF占其中的245天或86%。本提案中要求的船上科学支持设备包括：雷达系统：91，605美元 本提案的主要影响是提案指南（NSF 13-589）的优点审查标准2。它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/replacement equipment on R/V Atlantis, a 274? general purpose Global vessel operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The vessel is owned by the U.S. Navy, has state-of-the-art instrumentation and supports all disciplines of oceanographic research. The Global vessel and can accommodate a scientific party of up to 32 persons for as many as 60 days. The vessel works in all the world?s oceans supporting science funded primarily by U.S government agencies. R/V Atlantis is specifically outfitted for launching and servicing Alvin, the human occupied submersible as well as other vehicles of the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF). R/V Knorr was retired in 2014 after over 30 years of excellent service in the Academic Fleet.In 2014, R/V Knorr completed 251 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 51% of the total sailing schedule (128 days). R/V Atlantis completed 316 days at sea in 2014. NSF funded projects accounted for 92% of the total sailing schedule (291 days). In 2015, Atlantis is scheduled for 285 days with NSF accounting for 245 of those or 86%.Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment requested in this proposal includes:Radar System: $91,605Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 13-589). It provides 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.
