Oceanographic Technical Services 2006 - 2008, R/V Wecoma

[0610607]这份授予俄勒冈州立大学（OSU）的为期3年的合同为美国国家科学基金会资助的R/V Wecoma项目提供技术服务支持，R/V Wecoma是一艘185英尺的通用研究船，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。俄勒冈州立大学将在R/V Wecoma的每次巡航中提供一名船上技术人员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护、校准并为合格的用户提供共享研究仪器池中的项目。作为专业服务，俄勒冈州立大学将维护和运营NORCOR设施，在需要时提供沉积物取心服务，以支持nsf资助的项目。NORCOR取心系统是便携式的，它们将在执行计划项目最有效的船上操作，通常是UNOLS船，或USCGC Healy船，用于需要破冰能力的项目。俄勒冈州立大学还将提供一种用于获取海洋数据的起伏牵引车辆作为专门服务。这一工具也可由联卢观察团的临时船只操作，因此可安排有效利用联卢观察团的船队。OSU技术人员还将继续在SWAP（舰载无线应用协议）项目中进行合作，通过无线通信技术增强船舰和船岸通信。通过该奖项提供的技术支持和仪器维护使来自美国各地的合格研究人员能够共享使用该海洋设施，并使船舶和其他专业仪器能够有效地用于联邦资助的海洋研究。＊＊＊

0610607WillisThis 3-year award to Oregon State University (OSU) provides support for technical services during NSF-funded programs on R/V Wecoma, a 185' general purpose research vessel operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. OSU will provide one shipboard technician on each cruise of R/V Wecoma to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. As specialized services, OSU will maintain and operate the NORCOR facility to provide sediment coring services when required in support of NSF-funded projects. The NORCOR coring systems are portable, and they will be operated from the vessel that is most efficient to undertake the scheduled project, normally a UNOLS vessel, or USCGC Healy for programs requiring ice-breaking capability. OSU will also provide as specialized services an undulating, towed vehicle for acquiring oceanographic data. This instrument, also, may be operated from UNOLS vessels of opportunity, and thus may be scheduled to make efficient use of the UNOLS fleet. OSU technical personnel will also continue to collaborate in the SWAP (Shipboard Wireless Applications Protocols) program, to enhance ship-ship and ship-shore communications via wireless communications technologies. The technical support and instrument maintenance provided via this award enables shared-use operation of this oceanographic facility by qualified researchers from throughout the US, and it enables efficient use of the vessel and other specialized instrumentation for federally-funded oceanographic research. ***
