Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution SSSE 2022 - 2024

请求为R/V Atlantis号和R/V Armstrong号上的舰载科学支持设备(SSSE)提供资金，R/V Atlantis是一艘274‘通用科考船，R/V Armstrong是一艘238’多学科船。两者都是由世界卫生组织作为美国学术研究舰队(ARF)的一部分运营的，ARF是由大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)安排的。这两家公司都属于美国海军，拥有最先进的仪器设备，并支持海洋研究的所有学科。这些飞船在世界上所有的海洋中工作，支持主要由美国政府机构资助的科学。R/V Atlantis专门装备用于下水和维修Alvin、载人潜水器以及国家深潜器(NDSF)的其他运载工具。在这项建议中，WHOI为收购以下SSSE提供了技术说明和理由：水力臂式液压动力单元-R/V Atlantis$135,032(2)科学步入制冷单元-R/V Atlantis$155,716内部部署极-R/V Armstrong$24,731(2)锂电池遏制单元$9,525SBE 12位中央塔架-R/V Tioga$19,044 Sonardyne USBL Head-R/V Atlantis$191,581 Teledyne RDI RapidCAST-R/V Armstrong$95,850$631,479 Broader Broader影响本提案的主要影响在准则(NSF 19-602)的Merit审查标准2下。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、维护和操作允许美国国家科学基金会资助的任何美国大学或实验室的研究人员获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低研究成本，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智力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.
