The University of Miami requests funding for additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Walton Smith, a 96,’ general purpose regional vessel operated by the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF).The vessel conducts a substantial portion of her operations in the near shore waters of South Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, providing scientific information relevant to major environmental initiatives. The operations include oil spill monitoring, water management changes, municipal waste disposal, and storm water discharge among others which are deemed critical to the sustainable development of the South Florida and Gulf economy. Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) Turner Designs C3 Fluorometer (3 optic channels) $9,605 2) (2) WET Labs C-Star Transmissometer (CST-25-DR) $21,387 3) Sea-Bird 9+ underwater unit repair & 911+ Upgrade $27,993 4) 2) Sea-Bird ECO-FLNTU_RTD Fluorometer/Turbidity $17,485 $76,470  Broader 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.

迈阿密大学要求为R/V Walton Smith提供额外和备用仪器的资金，这是一艘由迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院（RSMAS）运营的96 '通用区域船，是美国学术研究舰队（ARF）的一部分。该船在南佛罗里达和墨西哥湾的海岸沃茨进行大部分操作，提供与重大环境倡议有关的科学信息。这些业务包括溢油监测、水管理变化、城市废物处理和雨水排放等，这些业务被认为对南佛罗里达和海湾经济的可持续发展至关重要。 本提案要求的海洋学仪器包括： 1)Turner Designs C3荧光计（3个光学通道）$9，605 2)（2）WET Labs C-Star透射仪（CST-25-DR）$21，387 3)海鸟9+水下单位维修911+升级$27，993 4)2）Sea-Bird ECO-FLNTU_RTD Fluorometer/Turtle $17，485 七万六千四百七十元  更广泛的影响 本提案的主要影响是提案指南（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。
