A Sea Beam 2000 Multibeam Echo Sounder for R/V Melville

该项目将为由斯克里普斯海洋研究所运营的梅尔维尔号科考船提供船上科学设备，专门用于支持海洋科学研究。船上科学支持设备方案为被认为对适当和安全地进行海洋科学研究至关重要的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为以下项目提供支助：甲板设备，包括用于部署和取回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，以确定研究地点的位置，通信设备，包括用于语音和科学数据通信的无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，以及用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船等其他设备。项目总监George G.Shor完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的购置和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将允许该机构在R/V Melville上安装一台海波束2000多波束回声测深仪。除了国家科学基金会的贡献外，总费用由斯克里普斯海洋研究所、海军研究办公室和凯克基金会分担。

This project will supply shipboard scientific equipment for the research vessel MELVILLE, operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 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 Director, George G. Shor is 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 install a Sea Beam 2000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the R/V MELVILLE. In addition to the NSF contribution, total costs are being shared by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Office of Navy Research and the Keck Foundation.
