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

夏威夷大学提出了一项请求，为R/V Kilo Moana(KM)、A185？通用科考船。这艘船由海军拥有，由夏威夷大学运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分。由于独特的小水线面设计，Kilo Moana是一个非常稳定和舒适的平台，可以在上面进行海洋研究。该船被设计为一艘多用途海洋调查船，拥有广泛的设备，用于地球物理(2台多波束回声探测仪、海底剖面仪、重力仪和磁力计)、物理海洋学(多普勒海流剖面仪、CTDS、二氧化碳)、气象和放射性同位素研究。超过2500平方英尺。英国《金融时报》在8个不同的实验室中提供超过4000平方米的空间。英国《金融时报》在船尾主甲板和前01甲板上提供了外部工作空间的一部分。基洛·莫阿纳号建于2001年，于2002年投入使用。这艘船在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁作业，在太平洋各地作业。2015年，这艘船完成了191天。其中，131天(69%)属于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根据提案指南(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仪器，以支持他们由NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查)。共享仪器的获取、维护和操作使任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员都可以获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低了研究成本，并扩大了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.
