Oceanographic Instrumentation for the R/V Savannah

这项奖励是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)提供资金的。请求为R/V Savannah提供额外的和备用的仪器。R/V Savannah是一艘92英尺长的沿海考察船，由斯基德韦海洋研究所运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分。该申请包括四个按优先顺序列出的项目：1)荧光计2)网络系统套件3)Grab系统4)Pinger/TransponderBroader影响：共享仪器的获取、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。增加正在使用的共用传感器和采样设备将对R/V Savannah的沿海观测能力进行重要升级。

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 Savannah. The R/V Savannah is a 92 foot coastal research vessel operated by Skidaway Institute of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The request includes four items listed by priority: 1) Fluorometers 2) Suite of Net Systems 3) Grab Systems 4) Pinger/TranspondersBroader 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 the shared use underway sensors and sampling equipment will provide an important upgrade to the coastal observing capabilities of the R/V Savannah.
