Oceanographic Instrumentation 2009

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。请求为汤姆斯·汤姆逊号航天飞机提供额外的备用仪器。通用全球科考船和66号克利福德·巴恩斯号通用海岸船。这两艘船都由华盛顿大学运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该请求包括按优先顺序列出的两个项目：1)C-Nav 2050 R 2)科学网络升级——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访问工作、校准仪器，降低研究成本，扩大潜在研究人员的基础。R/V汤普森号上导航系统的增强以及计算机网络的升级将为这艘全球级船只提供最先进的定位和数据传输能力，供所有科学小组使用。

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 Thomas Thompson, a 274? general purpose Global research vessel and the R/V Clifford Barnes, a 66? general purpose Coastal vessel. Both vessels are operated by the University of Washington as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The request includes two items listed by priority: 1) C-Nav 2050 R 2) Scientific Network UpgradeBroader 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 enhancement of the navigation system aboard R/V Thompson coupled with the upgrade to the computer network will provide the global class vessel with state-of-the-art positional and data transfer capabilities to be utilized by all science groups.
