Oceanographic Instrumentation; R/V Cape Hatteras

这项奖励是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法》(公法111-5)资助的。申请资助R/V好望角研究船的额外和后备仪器，这是一艘136英尺长的研究船，由国家科学基金会拥有，由杜克大学/北卡罗来纳大学海洋联盟运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该请求包括一项：1)流动荧光仪Broader Impact：共享使用仪器的获取、维护和操作允许任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作的、校准的仪器进行研究，降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。这一正在进行中的海水采样仪器的增加将增强R/V好望角的能力，以产生有意义的沿岸水分析。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation for the R/V Cape Hatteras, a 136-ft long research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the Duke/UNC Oceanographic Consortium as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The request includes one item: 1) Flow-through FluorometerBroader Impacts: The acquisition, maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers. The addition of this underway seawater sampling instrument will enhance the ability of R/V Cape Hatteras to produce meaningful Coastal water analysis.
