Alvins New Users Workshop

该奖项为使用载人车辆阿尔文的早期职业发展练习提供资金。培训将包括一系列半天的迷你课程，内容涉及阿尔文潜水操作的各个方面，巡航计划和执行，以及制定成功的阿尔文提案的策略。迷你课程将允许参与者探索如何使用Alvin完成他们的特定研究目标。参加者将有机会参加为期半天的模拟阿尔文潜水。这些“潜水”将在阿尔文悬挂器中进行，但在许多方面将模拟潜水的体验。特别是，参与者将了解潜水器的视野，进行采样和传感器/实验部署所需的时间，以及潜水参与者记录数据和与飞行员互动的责任。潜水将持续3-4小时，让参与者更深入地了解如何执行任务特定的目标与阿尔文。培训的主要目标是为新的阿尔文用户提供一个机会，在他们的研究目标的背景下了解潜艇的操作。PI将制作迷你课程的文档，并将其发布在DeSSC和NDSF网站上，以便其他无法参加的人可以从中受益。与会者将对研讨会进行评估，包括：规模和结构，迷你课程的主题焦点，模拟潜水体验和教练的有效性。这些评价的结果将综合在一份简短的文件中，分发给联索特派团、发展支助中心、国家科学基金会和国家科学基金，以供今后的训练活动使用。

This award provides funds for an early career development exercise using the Human Occupied Vehicle Alvin. The training will include a series of half-day, mini-courses on various aspects of Alvin dive operations, cruise planning and execution, and strategies for crafting successful Alvin proposals. The mini-courses will allow participants to explore how their specific research objectives can be accomplished with Alvin.Participants will each have an opportunity take part in a half-day simulated Alvin dive. These 'dives' will take place in the Alvin hanger, but in many respects will simulate the experience of a dive. In particular, participants will gain an appreciation for the field of view from the submersible, the time it takes to conduct manipulations for sampling and sensor/experiment deployment, and the responsibilities of dive participants for recording data and interacting with the pilots. Dives will last 3-4h and allow the participants to gain a deeper understanding of how to execute mission-specific goals with Alvin.The primary goal of the training is to provide new Alvin users with an opportunity to learn about the operation of the sub in the context of their research objectives. The PI will produce documentation from mini-courses to be published on the DeSSC and NDSF websites so that others who are not able to attend can benefit. Attendees will provide an evaluation of the workshop including: size and structure, topical foci of the mini-courses, simulated dive experience, and instructor effectiveness. The results of these evaluations will be synthesized in a short document to circulate at UNOLS, DeSSC, NSF, and NDSF for the benefit of future training exercises.
