2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

摘要2009年7月16日提案编号：0912161机构：路易斯安那大学海洋联合会（LUMCON）主要研究者： J. MalbroughCo-PI：D. GuidryThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009（Public Law 111-5）.The proposal requires many Shipboard Scientific Support（SSSE）items for the vessel operated by Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium（LUMCON）; namely the R/V派力肯. 这些请求特别包括过去NSF检查或巡航后评估（PCA）建议的项目，以及由于成本而被运营商推迟的项目。 所有要求的项目都将提高安全性，增强科学支持能力，或延长船舶使用寿命。 由于这些要求的性质和时间，SSSE计划通常要求的供应商报价标准被免除，其中许多数字是出于预算目的提供的估计数，主要基于船舶运营商过去类似工作的经验。 更广泛的影响： R/V派力肯支持联邦政府资助的墨西哥湾科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的了解。 在作业期间，该船定期让研究生和本科生接触航海海洋学。 还通过从船舶到海岸的实时卫星连接、开放日活动、教育巡航以及参与海洋先进技术教育中心（MATE）来实现公共宣传，该中心是一个针对海洋技术人员的实习培训计划。 派力肯计划在2009年完成大约50个NSF赞助日。

ABSTRACT 16 July 2009Proposal Number: 0912161Institution: Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON)PI: J. MalbroughCo-PI: D. GuidryThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The proposal requests numerous Shipboard Scientific Support (SSSE) items for the vessel operated by Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON); namely the R/V PELICAN. The requests specifically include items that have been recommended from past NSF inspections, or Post-Cruise Assessments (PCA's) and have been otherwise deferred by the operators due to cost. All of the items requested will either improve safety, enhance science support capability, or extend vessel service life. Due to the nature and timing of these requests, the vendor quotation standards normally required by the SSSE Program were waived out of necessity with many of the figures provided as estimates for budgetary purposes and based mainly on past experience of the vessel operators for similar work. Broader Impacts: The R/V PELICAN supports federally funded scientific research in the Gulf of Mexico in order to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Pubic outreach is also achieved through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, open house events, educational cruises, and involvement in the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center which is an intern-based training program for marine technicians. The PELICAN is scheduled to complete approximately 50 NSF sponsored days in 2009.
