Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为研究船RIDGELY WARFIELD提供船上科学支持设备，该船由约翰霍普金斯大学切萨皮克湾研究所运营，专门用于支持海洋科学研究。船上科学支持设备计划为船舶设备提供资金，这些设备被认为是正确和安全进行海洋科学研究所必需的。该计划为甲板设备（包括用于部署和检索科学仪器的绞车系统）、导航设备（如雷达、陀螺仪和地球卫星接收器）提供支持，以确定研究地点的位置。通信设备，包括话音和科学数据通信用无线电收发机和卫星收发机，以及其他设备，如运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目总监James D. Ebert博士和Bruce K. Cornwall博士在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面具有丰富的经验，完全有资格指导该项目。该项目将允许该机构更换导电绞车上磨损的连接器，并更换有缺陷的雷达和导航设备。

This project will supply shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessel RIDGELY WARFIELD, operated by the Johns Hopkins University, Chesapeake Bay Institute, and dedicated to use in support of ocean science research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. This Program provides support for such items as deck equipment including winch systems for the deployment and retrieval of scientific instruments, navigational equipment such as radars, gyroscopes and earth satellite receivers to pin point the location of research sites, communication equipment including radio transceivers and satellite transceivers for voice and scientific data communications and other equipment such as motorized workboats for transporting scientists to and from data retrieval sites. The Project Directors, Dr. James D. Ebert and Bruce K. Cornwall are fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project will allow the institution to replace worn out connectors on the conducting winch, and replace a defective radar and navigational equipment.
