Oceanographic Instrumentation for SIO

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。请求为R/V Roger Revelle（一艘273英尺的通用环球船）提供额外的备用仪器；R/V梅尔维尔号，一艘279年的通用环球船；R/V New Horizon是一艘170英尺的通用中级船，R/V Sproul是一艘125英尺的通用区域船。所有四艘船都由斯克里普斯海洋研究所运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。本提案中的一个请求将通过另一个机构作为团购提供资金，另一个请求已经存在于车队池中，并将交付给该机构。更广泛的影响：共享使用仪器的获取，维护和操作允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的nsf资助的研究人员为他们的研究使用工作，校准仪器，降低研究成本，扩大潜在研究人员的基础。斯克里普斯舰艇上的声呐系统组件的采购将允许在西海岸的这个中心机构中保持海底和次海底跟踪的重要功能。

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 on the R/V Roger Revelle, a 273' general purpose Global vessel; the R/V Melville, a 279' general purpose Global vessel; the R/V New Horizon, a 170', general purpose, Intermediate vessel and the R/V Sproul, a 125' general purpose Regional vessel. All four vessels are operated by Scripps Institute of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. One of the requests in this proposal will be funded as a group purchase through another institution and another request already exists in a fleet pool and will be devilvered to the institution. This award includes one item: 1) SeaSpy Tow CableBroader 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 acquisition of the components for the sonar systemes on the Scripps vessels will allow this important functionality of bottom and sub-bottom tracking to be maintained in this hub institution on the West Coast.
