Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution SSSE 2022 - 2024

请求为“亚特兰蒂斯号”（274英尺的通用科研船）和“阿姆斯特朗号”（238英尺的多学科科研船）的船上科学支持设备（SSSE）提供资金。这两艘船都由WHOI运营，作为美国学术研究船队（ARF）的一部分，由大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）安排。这两艘船都归美国海军所有，拥有最先进的仪器，并支持所有学科的海洋学研究。这些船只在世界各地的海洋工作，支持主要由美国政府机构资助的科学研究。亚特兰蒂斯号是专门为发射和维修阿尔文号、载人潜水器以及国家深潜设施（NDSF）的其他车辆而装备的。有了这个提议，WHOI提供了以下SSSE的技术描述和基本原理：水臂液压动力装置- R/V ATLANTIS $135,032(2)科学移动式制冷装置- R/V ATLANTIS $155,716内部部署杆- R/V ARMSTRONG $24,731(2)锂电池密封装置$9,525SBE 12位中央塔- R/V TIOGA $19,044Sonardyne USBL头- R/V ATLANTIS $191,581Teledyne RDI rapidCAST - R/V ARMSTRONG $95,850 $631,479更广泛的影响主要影响本提案符合提案指南（NSF 19-602）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国家科学基金会资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受国家科学基金会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资助的研究人员为他们的研究访问工作、校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

A request is made to fund Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) on R/V Atlantis, a 274’ general purpose research vessel, and R/V Armstrong, a 238’ multidisciplinary vessel. Both are operated by WHOI as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet (ARF) which is scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Both are owned by the U.S. Navy, have state-of-the-art instrumentation and support all disciplines of oceanographic research. The vessels work in all the world’s oceans supporting science funded primarily by U.S government agencies. R/V Atlantis is specifically outfitted for launching and servicing Alvin, the human occupied submersible as well as other vehicles of the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF). With this proposal, WHOI provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following SSSE:Hydro-boom Hydraulic Power Unit – R/V ATLANTIS $135,032(2) Science Walk-in Refrigeration Units – R/V ATLANTIS $155,716Internal Deployment Pole - R/V ARMSTRONG $24,731(2) Lithium Battery Containment Units $9,525SBE 12-Position Central Pylon – R/V TIOGA $19,044Sonardyne USBL Head – R/V ATLANTIS $191,581Teledyne RDI rapidCAST – R/V ARMSTRONG $95,850 $631,479Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 19-602). 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.
