University of Hawaii R/V Kilo Moana Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2016

一个请求是由夏威夷大学资助额外的和更换仪器的R/V基洛莫阿纳，（KM），一个185？通用研究船该船由海军拥有，由夏威夷大学运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。 由于独特的小水线面双体船设计，基洛莫阿纳是一个非常稳定和舒适的平台，从那里进行海洋学研究。该船被设计为多用途海洋研究船，配备了大量的地球物理设备（2台多波束回声测深仪、海底剖面仪、重力仪和磁力仪）、物理海洋学设备（多普勒海流剖面仪、CTD、pCO 2）、气象和放射性同位素研究设备。超过2500平方米英尺8个不同的实验室和超过4000平方米的空间提供。英尺在船尾主甲板和前01甲板上有一个外部工作空间。Kilo Moana建于2001年，并于2002年投入使用。该船在夏威夷的檀香山外运营，并在整个太平洋地区工作。2015年，该船完成了191天。其中，131天（69%）为NSF。2016年，她目前计划航行186天，其中138天（74%）由NSF资助。本提案中要求的海洋仪器包括： 1)POS/MV位置定位系统$87，253 2）高精度压力标准$9，200 $96，453更广泛的影响 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 by the University of Hawaii to fund additional and replacement instrumentation for the R/V Kilo Moana, (KM), a 185? general purpose research vessel. The vessel is owned by the Navy and operated by the University of Hawaii as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Because of the unique SWATH design, the Kilo Moana is a very stable and comfortable platform from which to conduct oceanographic research. The ship was designed as a multi-purpose oceanographic research vessel with extensive equipment for geophysical (2 multibeam echo-sounders, sub-bottom profiler, gravimeter and magnetometer), physical oceanographic (Doppler current profilers, CTDs, pCO2); meteorological and radioisotope research. Over 2500 sq. ft. of space is provided in 8 different laboratories and over 4000 sq. ft. of exterior working space is available on the aft main deck and the forward 01 deck. The Kilo Moana was built in 2001 and commissioned in 2002. The vessel operates out of Honolulu, Hawaii, and works throughout the Pacific. In 2015, the vessel completed 191 days. Of these, 131 days (69%) were for NSF. In 2016, she is currently scheduled to sail 186 days of which 138 (74%) are funded by NSF.Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) POS/MV Position Orientation System $87,253 2) High Accuracy Pressure Standard $9,200 $96,453 Broader 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.
