Acquisition of Gyro-stabilized BGM-3 Gravimeters for Academic Science and Implementation on UNOLS Vessels

[0705964 . fornari]这份授予伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的合同将为科研船上的四个陀螺稳定重力仪的获取、校准和安装提供支持，另外两个单元将部署在机遇号船上或其他潜艇、陆地或空中交通工具上进行地球物理研究。这里支持的仪器将使能够获取高分辨率重力数据的美国学术研究船的数量从3艘增加到7艘。安装的仪器将由每个机构的船上技术小组提供支持，根据NSF、ONR和NAVOCEANO之间现有的关于共享使用重力仪进行海洋科学研究的协议备忘录，另外两个仪器将由海军海洋学办公室（NAVOCEANO）提供支持。这种新的能力将大大扩大研究界开展海洋重力研究项目的能力。更广泛的影响：这些共享使用的仪器将广泛用于学术研究船上，并且经过适当规划，还将有两个单元可用于其他机遇船、潜水器、飞机或其他平台的专门使用

0705964Fornari This award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution provides support for the acquisition, calibration and installation of four gyro-stabilized gravimeters on research vessels plus and two additional units to be deployed for geophysical research on vessels of opportunity or other submarine, terrestrial or aerial vehicles. The instruments supported here will expand the number of US academic research ships capable of acquiring high resolution gravity data from three to seven. The installed instruments will be supported by the shipboard technical groups at each institution, with support for the other two provided by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) under an existing Memorandum of Agreement among NSF, ONR and NAVOCEANO for shared use of gravimeters for ocean sciences research. This new capability will substantially expand the research community's capability to undertake marine gravity research projects.Broader Impacts: These shared-use instruments will be widely available for use on academic research vessels, and two units will also be available for specialized use on other ships of opportunity, submersibles, aircraft or other platforms with proper planning.***
