Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

该项目将为研究船WECOMA提供船上科学支持设备，这是一艘由美国国家科学基金会拥有的船，由俄勒冈州立大学运营，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Kennard Palfrey完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将允许该机构完成新绞车零部件的采购，安装吊臂支架，并获得测深仪、甚高频无线电、额外的卫星通信设备、备用陀螺仪中继器、摄像机和监测线路频率和电压的仪器。

This project will provide support for shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessel WECOMA, an NSF-owned ship operated by Oregon State University, 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, Kennard Palfrey is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. The project will allow the institution to complete the acquisition of parts for a new winch, install a crane boom support, and obtain a fathometer, VHF radio, additional satellite communications devices, a spare gyro repeater, video cameras and an instrument to monitor line frequency and voltage.
