Development of an Integrated Multi-Disciplinary Sensing System for the R/V Roger Revelle

9413959 Pinkel该奖项将为目前正在建造的AGOR 24（R/V Roger Revelle）研究船上开发和安装两个多学科研究系统提供资金。 第一个将是一个SeaSoar系统，将购买和改装该系统，以最大限度地提高生物、化学和物理海洋学采样能力。 它将能够以3公里的水平分辨率和约1米的垂直分辨率描绘海洋顶部400米的剖面。 该系统将用于测量荧光和其他生物示踪剂、对生物体的物理作用力以及各种海洋环境中浮游生物的微观至中尺度模式和动态。 第二个系统将是多尺度多普勒声纳（MSDS）。 该系统的开发将提供目前商业系统所不具备的取样能力。 它将由一对嵌套的远程（60千赫）和高分辨率（160千赫）声纳组成。 该系统将用于研究深层浮游动物种群、浮游生物垂直迁移、岛屿上升流过程、锋面水文学和水团对流。 这些系统将安装在R/V Roger Revelle上，供调查员使用，以获得联合国后勤事务处的运输时间。 加州大学圣地亚哥分校将为该项目提供配套资金，该项目在学术研究基础设施计划下得到支持。 ***

9413959 Pinkel This award will provide funding to develop and install two multidisciplinary research systems on the AGOR 24 (R/V Roger Revelle) research vessel, currently under construction. The first will be a SeaSoar system which will purchased and modified to maximize capabilities for biologic, chemical and physical oceanographic sampling. It will be able to profile the top 400 m of the sea with 3 km horizontal and about 1 m vertical resolution. The system will be used to measure fluorescence and other biological tracers, physical forcing on organisms, and micro- to meso-scale patterns and dynamics of plankton in various marine environments. The second system will be a Multi Scale Doppler Sonar (MSDS). This system will be developed to provide sampling capabilities not currently available in commercial systems. It will consist of a nested pair of long range (60 kHZ) and high resolution (160 kHz) sonars. This system will be used for studies of deep zooplankton populations, plankton vertical migration, island upwelling processes, frontal hydrography and water mass convection. These systems will be available on the R/V Roger Revelle for investigators procuring UNOLS ship-time. The University of California, San Diego will provide matching funds for this project, which is supported under the Academic Research Infrastructure program. ***
