Oceanographic Technical Services 2009 - 2011, R/V Melville, R/V Revelle, R/V New Horizon, R/V Sproul

斯克里普斯海洋学研究所提议为四艘考察船提供技术服务，这些考察船都是作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统(海洋实验室系统)研究船队的一部分运营的。待支持的船舶包括R/V Revelle、R/V Melville、R/V New Horizon和R/V Sproul。作为其基本业务的一部分，他们将为每个海洋研究项目提供一名(Sproul，新地平线)或两名(Revelle，Melville)技术人员，以支持基本服务，包括多波束声纳业务，他们将维护、校准和向合格用户提供其共用研究仪器池中的物品。他们还提议为调查人员提供几项专门支持，并单独收费。2009年需要的专门支持包括1)参考质量的水文支持，2)地震反射剖面和有关减轻对海洋哺乳动物的影响，3)管理服务合同和使用C波段或Ku波段服务的联合国海洋事务处船只使用C波段或Ku波段服务7x24进入卫星船岸的HiSeasNet(从研究船只进行的海上互联网连接)的维护，以及4)支持在USCG Healy的CTD业务。这项提案中的预算是为期3年的持续赠款的第一年。

Scripps Institution of Oceanography proposes to support technical services on four research vessels, all operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Ships to be supported include R/V Revelle, R/V Melville, R/V New Horizon and R/V Sproul. As part of their basic operations they will provide one (Sproul, New Horizon) or two (Revelle, Melville) technicians on each seagoing research project to support basic services, including multibeam sonar operations, and they will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. They also propose to provide several elements of specialized support for investigators, with separate charges. Specialized support requested for 2009 includes 1) reference quality hydrographic support, 2) seismic reflection profiling and related mitigation of impacts on marine mammals, 3) management of the service contract and maintenance for HiSeasNet (Internet connectivity at sea from research vessels) for UNOLS vessels using C-band or Ku-band service for 7x24 access to satellite-based ship-shore, and 4) support of CTD operations on USCG Healy. The budget in this proposal is for the first year of a 3-year continuing grant.
