Oceanographic Instrumentation

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。请求资助R/V Point Sur（一艘135？一般用途区域研究船。该船由Moss Landing Marine Labs运营，是大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该请求包括按优先级列出的三个项目：1）塔克拖网，框架，TDR 2）梁拖网网更广泛的影响：共享使用仪器的获取，维护和操作允许NSF资助的研究人员从任何美国大学或实验室获得工作，校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。购置改进的共用中层水和底栖取样装置将加强R/V Pt。Sur支持有意义研究的能力。

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 Point Sur, a 135? general purpose Regional research vessel. The vessel is operated by Moss Landing Marine Labs as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The request includes three items listed by priority: 1) Tucker trawl nets, frame, TDR 2) Beam Trawl netsBroader 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 improved, shared use, mid-water and benthic sampling devices will enhanse the R/V Pt. Sur's ability to support meaningful research.
