Oceanographic Instrumentation Enhancements 2009

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)提供资金的。通用全球科考船和克利福德·巴恩斯号，66？沿海通用船舶。这两艘船都由华盛顿大学作为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分运营。该奖项包括五件物品：1)XBT发射器和Mk21 USB DAQ 2)用于R.V.Barnes CTD系统的备用传感器套件3)300 kHz LADCP，用于R.V.Barnes或R.V.Thompson 4)Bongo Net 5)SBE19+CTD Profiler/SBE55六瓶旋转木马影响：共享仪器的采购、维护和操作使来自美国任何大学或实验室的研究人员能够使用经过校准的工作仪器进行研究，降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。这两艘船在普吉特湾地区的外展和教育机会方面都发挥了重要作用。

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 (UNOLS) research fleet. The award includes five items: 1) XBT launchers and MK21 USB DAQ 2) Spare sensor suite for R.V. Barnes CTD system 3) 300 kHz LADCP, for use on either R.V. Barnes or R.V. Thompson 4) Bongo net 5) SBE19+ CTD profiler/SBE55 six bottle carouselBroader 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. Both of these vessels play an important role in outreach and educational opportunities in the Puget Sound Area.
