Requests are made by the University of Washington to support Oceanographic Instrumentation on R/V Thompson, a 274’ general purpose, global class research vessel, and R/V Rachael Carson, a newly outfitted 72-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF). In 2019, Thompson completed 296 funded days with 251 (85%) of them for NSF. For 2020, the vessel is scheduled for 287 total days with 255 days for NSF. Carson had 116 days in 2019 but there were no NSF days involved. For 2020, there are 61 days scheduled, 7 of which are for NSF.With this proposal, UW provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:1) 3.5kHz and 12kHz Transducers $65,652 2) 300 kHz ADCP $50,161 3) 2 tension-monitoring blocks $48,059 4) Sea-Bird 911plus CTD $64,925 5) 3 uCTD probes $51,849 6) Towed Magnetometer, Cable, and Winch $48,825 7) Sea-Bird 45 Thermosalinograph $15,567 $345,038 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.This 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.

华盛顿大学请求支持R/V Thompson（一艘274'通用、全球级研究船）和R/V Rachael卡森（一艘新装备的72英尺沿海研究船）上的海洋仪器，这两艘船都是美国学术研究舰队（ARF）的一部分。 2019年，汤普森完成了296个资助日，其中251个（85%）为NSF。2020年，该船计划总天数为287天，其中NSF为255天。卡森在2019年有116天，但没有涉及NSF天。对于2020年，有61天计划，其中7个是NSF。通过此提案，UW提供了技术说明和理由，用于收购以下海洋仪器：1）3.5kHz和12 kHz换能器65，652美元2）300 kHz ADCP 50，161美元3）2个张力监测块48，059美元4）海鸟911加CTD 64，925美元5）3 uCTD探头51，849美元6）拖曳磁力计，电缆和绞车48，825美元7）海鸟45温盐仪15，567美元 345，038美元更广泛的影响 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美国任何大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作、校准的仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
