Proof of Concept Study for Acoustically Telemetering XBT in Cooperation with Sparton of Canada

小额探索性研究资助：声学遥测XBT的概念验证研究该海洋仪器开发提案寻求资金，以证明声学遥测深海XBT （DDXBT）的开发在技术上是可行的，可以在3000米以上的深度进行操作。由于审查员对功率要求、传感器可靠性和声学传输的担忧，先前的两项DDXBT发展建议被拒绝。尽管存在技术障碍，但审稿人对提议的DDXBT的科学潜力充满热情。这笔SGER拨款为PI提供资金，用于对DDXBT的功率、传感器和声学问题进行探索性研究。罗斯比建议通过分包给加拿大斯巴达有限公司的合同，为大部分工程研究提供科学监督。

Small Grant for Exploratory Research: Proof of Concept Study for Acoustically Telemetering XBT This Oceanographic Instrumentation Development proposal seeks funds to prove that development of an acoustically telemetering, Deep- depth XBT (DDXBT) that could operate to depths in excess of 3,000 meters is technically feasible. Two previous proposals to develop a DDXBT have been declined due to reviewer concerns about power requirements, sensor reliability and acoustic transmission. In spite of the technical barriers, reviewers have been enthusiastic about the scientific potential of the proposed DDXBT. This SGER grant provides funds for the PI to conduct exploratory research into the issues of power, sensors and acoustics for the DDXBT. Rossby proposes to provide scientific oversight with a majority of the engineering research to be accomplished via a subcontract to Spartan of Canada, Limited.
