Oceanographic Technical Services, 2009-2011, R/V Atlantis, R/V Knorr, R/V Oceanus

伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所提议支持三艘研究船的技术服务，这三艘研究船都是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 支持的船舶包括R/V Atlantis，R/V Knorr和R/V Oceanus。 作为其基本业务的一部分，它们将为每个海上研究项目提供一名（Oceanus）或两名（Atlantis、Knorr）技术人员，并将维护、校准和向合格用户提供共用研究仪器库中的物品，包括使用Atlantis和Knorr上的多波束回声测深仪。他们还提议为调查员提供若干专门支助，并单独收费。2009年请求的专门支持包括1）USCGC Healy上的技术支持，2）R/V Knorr上的长期核心业务，以及3）对海洋教育协会（SEA）的支持。 本提案中的预算用于3年连续赠款的第一年。

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution proposes to support technical services on three research vessels, all operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Ships to be supported include R/V Atlantis, R/V Knorr, and R/V Oceanus. As part of their basic operations they will provide one (Oceanus) or two (Atlantis, Knorr) technicians on each seagoing research project, and will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation, including use of the multibeam echosounders on Atlantis and Knorr. They also propose to provide several elements of specialized support for investigators, with separate charges. Specialized support requested for 2009 includes 1) Technical support aboard the USCGC Healy, 2) Long Core Operations aboard R/V Knorr, and 3) Support for the Sea Education Association (SEA). The budget in this proposal is for the first year of a 3-year continuing grant.
