Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

9732656史密斯该项目将为阿尔法螺旋号考察船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，由阿拉斯加大学海洋科学研究所运营，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。该方案为下列项目提供支助：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，用于确定研究地点的位置；通信设备，包括无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，用于语音和科学数据通信；以及其他设备，如用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船。项目总监Thomas D.Smith完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船用设备的购置和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将使该机构能够获得一台差分全球定位系统、一台精密测深仪、一台导航多路复用器，并用制图软件取代两台导航计算机。***

9732656 SMITH This project will provide shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessel ALPHA HELIX, an NSF-owned ship operated by the University of Alaska, Institute of Marine Science, 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, Thomas D. Smith 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, acquire a differential GPS, a precision depth sounder, a navigational multiplexer and replace two navigational computers with charting software. ***
