Acquisition of Oceanographic Sampling Equipment for the Sea Education Association's Research Vessel, SSV Corwith Cramer

这个主要的研究仪器奖海洋教育协会在伍兹霍尔，马萨诸塞州提供资金，用于购买海洋学研究仪器上使用的海船SSV Corwith Cramer。 这里支持的仪器将用于SEA学期和相关的航海计划，涉及本科生，K-12学生和教师动手海洋研究和航海。 这里支助的具体仪器包括一台声学海流剖面仪、用于探测和海底下剖面的声纳、用于分析表层和次表层沃茨的物理、化学和生物特性的传感器、用于数据采集和分析的计算机网络以及用于研究和培训的其他仪器。 该项目得到了NSF海洋科学部的支持。海洋教育协会将从非联邦基金中为项目总成本的一部分提供成本分摊支持。

This Major Research Instrumentation award to Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts provides funds for acquisition of oceanographic research instrumentation for use on the SEA vessel SSV Corwith Cramer. Instruments supported here will be used in the SEA Semester and related seagoing programs, involving undergraduates, K-12 students and teachers in hands-on marine research and seamanship. Specific instruments supported here include an acoustic current profiler, sonars for sounding and sub-bottom profiling, sensors for analysis of physical, chemical and biological properties of surface and subsurface waters, a computer network for data acquisition and analysis, and other instruments for research and training. The project is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF. Sea Education Association will provide cost-share support from non-federal funds for a portion of total project costs.
