Oceanographic Technical Services, 2003=2005 R/V Maurice Ewing

这个为期3年的奖项授予了位于纽约市的哥伦比亚大学的拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测站（LDEO），该观测站为美国国家科学基金会资助的Maurice Ewing研究船项目提供技术服务支持，该研究船由LDEO运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分。LDEO将为R/V Ewing的每次巡航提供船上技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，维护、校准并为合格用户提供共享研究仪器池中的项目。此外，该合同还支持尤因号和联卢观察团其他船只的一些专门服务，LDEO技术人员将为此提供支助。这些服务包括多波束声纳操作、多通道地震反射剖面、折射和校准操作的震源支持，以及减轻震源对海洋哺乳动物的声波影响。这里所支持的服务预计将通过对共享使用的海洋仪器的成本效益和专家支持，大大提高科考船的操作能力

0327363DieboldThis 3-year award to Columbia University in the City of New York's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) provides support for technical services during NSF-funded programs on research vessel Maurice Ewing, which is operated by LDEO as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. LDEO will provide shipboard technicians on each cruise of R/V Ewing to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. In addition, the award supports some specialized services on both the Ewing and other UNOLS vessels on which LDEO technical staff will provide support. Such services include multibeam sonar operations, multichannel seismic reflection profiling, seismic source support for refraction and calibration operations, and mitigation of acoustic impacts on marine mammals by seismic sources. The services supported here are expected to significantly enhance the operation of the research vessel via cost-effective and expert support of shared-use oceanographic instrumentation.***
