Oceanographic Technical Services 2006-2008, R/Vs Atlantis, Knorr and Oceanus

这项为期3年的奖项授予马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋研究所(WHOI)，在NSF资助的亚特兰蒂斯号、克诺尔号和海洋号科考船项目期间为技术服务提供支持。这三艘船都由世界卫生组织运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统(海洋实验室系统)研究船队的一部分。卫生组织将在亚特兰蒂斯和克诺尔各提供两名船上技术员，在大洋洲各提供一名技术员，以支持海洋研究项目，并维护、校准和向合格用户提供其共用研究仪器池中的物件。基本服务包括多波束声纳操作。此外，该合同还为世界卫生组织的船只和联合国日内瓦办事处的其他船只提供一些专门服务支持，世界卫生组织的技术人员将在这些船只上提供支持。这里所支持的服务预计将通过对共用海洋仪器提供具有成本效益的专家支持，大大加强考察船的运作。

All three vessels are operated by WHOI as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. WHOI will provide two shipboard technicians on each cruise of Atlantis and Knorr, and one technician on Oceanus, to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. Basic services include multibeam sonar operations. In addition, the award supports some specialized services support on both WHOI vessels and other UNOLS vessels on which WHOI technical staff will provide support. The services supported here are expected to significantly enhance the operation of the research vessels via cost-effective and expert support of shared-use oceanographic instrumentation.***
