Funding is requested for Ship Operations support for the Research Vessel Atlantic Explorer for the period from 2018 with a five-year budget until the end of 2022.R/V Atlantic Explorer is a general-purpose research ship owned and operated by the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) and is part of the Academic Research Fleet (ARF). BIOS is a U.S. 501 (c) 3 and 509 (a) not-for profit research and educational institution incorporated in the state of New York, and geographically located on the island of Bermuda. The mission of the ship is to support funded science research. RV Atlantic Explorer has 204 days funded in 2018. This proposal supports scientific users of R/V Atlantic Explorer, and primarily NSF funded research projects. The major research projects that use R/V Atlantic Explorer are oceanographic time-series efforts, ancillary users of the ship conducting independent and collaborative research through opportunities provided to sample the deep ocean, and independent users of the ship undertaking research in the North Atlantic Ocean. R/V Atlantic Explorer supports scientific research and technology development that improves scientific knowledge of societal relevant environmental issues. The oceanographic time- series and other scientific research programs directly contribute to improved understanding of such global issues as: (1) global climate change; (2) the complex interaction and feedback between climate phenomena, global warming, ocean biogeochemistry and ecosystem variability and health; (3) ocean warming, stratification, and ocean deoxygenation; and, (4) the variability of greenhouse gases such as CO2, the exchange of CO2 between ocean and atmosphere, variability of carbon sources and sinks, and ocean acidification. The mission of the ship is to support funded science research. The vessel is scheduled for 204 days at sea in 2018. These days are primarily in support of National Science Foundation funded science. R/V Atlantic Explorer will support scientific research in the oligotrophic subtropical gyre of the North Atlantic Ocean. This region is an important modulator of the oceanic cycling of biogeochemical (N, P) and radiatively important elements (e.g., CO2), air-sea heat and salt transport as well as climate. The ease of access to these deep waters has allowed R/V Atlantic Explorer to significantly contribute to national efforts to improve our understanding of ocean processes. Three nationally and internationally important oceanographic time-series programs have and will be supported by R/V Atlantic Explorer operations, including: (1) Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) research program begun in 1988; (2) Hydrostation S research program begun in 1954, and; (3) Ocean Flux Program (OFP) begun in 1978This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

从2018年开始，大西洋探索者号研究船的船舶运营支持将获得五年预算，直至2022年底。R/V大西洋探索者号是一艘通用研究船，由百慕大海洋科学研究所（BIOS）拥有和运营，是学术研究舰队（ARF）的一部分。BIOS是美国501 (c) 3和509 (a)非营利性研究和教育机构，在纽约州注册成立，地理位置位于百慕大岛上。这艘船的任务是支持资助的科学研究。RV Atlantic Explorer在2018年有204天的资金。该提案支持R/V大西洋探索者的科学用户，主要是NSF资助的研究项目。使用R/V大西洋探索者号的主要研究项目是海洋学时间序列研究，通过提供深海取样机会进行独立和合作研究的辅助用户，以及在北大西洋进行研究的独立用户。R/V大西洋探索者支持科学研究和技术开发，以提高对社会相关环境问题的科学知识。海洋时间序列和其他科学研究项目直接有助于提高对以下全球性问题的认识：(1)全球气候变化；(2)气候现象、全球变暖、海洋生物地球化学和生态系统变异与健康之间复杂的相互作用和反馈；(3)海洋变暖、分层和海洋脱氧；(4)二氧化碳等温室气体的变率、海洋与大气之间的二氧化碳交换、碳源和碳汇的变率以及海洋酸化。这艘船的任务是支持资助的科学研究。该船计划于2018年在海上航行204天。这些天主要是为了支持国家科学基金会资助的科学。R/V大西洋探险者号将支持对北大西洋副热带少营养环流的科学研究。该区域是生物地球化学（N， P）和辐射重要元素（如CO2）海洋循环、海气热盐运输以及气候的重要调制器。进入这些深海的便利使R/V大西洋探索者能够为国家努力提高我们对海洋过程的理解作出重大贡献。R/V大西洋探索者项目已经并将支持三个国内和国际重要的海洋时间序列项目，包括：(1)1988年开始的百慕大大西洋时间序列研究项目；(2) 1954年开始的S站研究计划；(3)海洋通量计划（OFP）始于1978年。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行了评估，认为值得支持。
