Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2008

提议购买四件共用科学仪器，分别用于分别由港湾分公司和迈阿密大学运营的R/V Seward Johnson和R/V Walton Smith。这两艘船都由理查德·芬德利作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分进行管理。根据PI的优先顺序，要求的四个项目是：1)在R/V Walton Smith2上升级POS/MV 320系统2)回声测深仪测试装置3)集成光学船头传感器套件4)水文显示和AMP；处理软件对设备的影响：在本提案中，建议支持的项目为具有成本效益的基本仪器设备提供了重要的共享基础设施能力，并将显著提高R/V Seward Johnson和R/V Walton Smith用户的能力，这两家公司为来自美国各地的不同调查人员提供服务。Miama和Harbor Branch技术支持小组拥有在船只上操作和支持建议系统的专业知识。

Proposal to acquire four items of shared-use scientific instrumentation for use on R/V Seward Johnson and R/V Walton Smith, operated by Harbor Branch and University of Miami respectively. Both vessels are managed by Richard Findley as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The four items requested, as prioritized by the PI, are: 1) Upgrade of POS/MV 320 System aboard R/V Walton Smith2) Echo Sounder Test Set 3) Integrated Optical Bow Sensor Suite 4) Hydrographic Display & Processing SoftwareBroader impacts: In the present proposal, the items recommended for support provide an important shared-use infrastructure capability for basic instrumentation that is cost-effective, and will significantly improve capabilities for users of R/V Seward Johnson and R/V Walton Smith, which service a diverse group of investigators from around the U.S. The Miama and Harbor Branch technical support groups have the expertise to operate and support the recommended systems on the vessels.
