Oceanographic Technical Services, 2009 - 2011, R/V Thompson and R/V Barnes

华盛顿大学建议支持R/V汤普森，一个274？通用研究船和R/V巴恩斯，66英尺的沿海研究船，都作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。 该提案要求为基本服务提供支助。 他们将为R/V Thompson的每次巡航提供两名船上技术员，以支持海上研究项目，并维护、校准和向合格用户提供共用研究仪器中的物品。 作为基本服务的一部分，他们将维护和操作R/V Thompson上的多波束声纳系统。 对于R/V巴恩斯，如果首席科学家需要，技术人员可以航行，尽管由于空间限制，他通常不会航行;技术人员将提供共享使用的仪器供科学家使用，如果技术人员不航行，则提供必要的远程支持。 本提案中包含的预算用于3年连续赠款的第一年。

University of Washington proposes to support technical services on R/V Thompson, a 274? general purpose research vessel, and R/V Barnes, a 66-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The proposal requests support for basic services. They will provide two shipboard technicians on each cruise of R/V Thompson to support seagoing research projects and to maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. As part of the basic services, they will maintain and operate the multibeam sonar systems on R/V Thompson. For R/V Barnes, a technician is available to sail if desired by the chief scientists, though (s)he will often not sail due to space limitations; the technician will provide shared-use instrumentation for use by the scientists, and provide remote support as needed if a technician does not sail. The budget included with this proposal is for the first year of a 3-year continuing grant.
