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。通用全球船；R/V Melville，279英寸通用全球船；R/V New Horizon，170？通用中级船和R/V Sproul，125？通用地区性船舶。所有四艘船都由斯克里普斯海洋研究所作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统(海洋实验室系统)研究船队的一部分进行操作。该请求包括四个按优先顺序列出的项目：1)矢量M5 ROV 2)RDI 75 kHz海洋测量员3)GeEel拖车领队4)EM120至EM122升级广泛影响：共享仪器的获取、维护和操作允许任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作的、校准的仪器进行研究，降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。

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 Roger Revelle, a 273? general purpose Global vessel; the R/V Melville, a 279?general purpose Global vessel; the R/V New Horizon, a 170?, general purpose, Intermediate vessel and the R/V Sproul, a 125? general purpose Regional vessel. All four vessels are operated by Scripps Institute of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The request includes four items listed by priority: 1) Vector M5 ROV 2) RDI 75 kHz Ocean Surveyor 3) GeoEel Tow Leader 4) EM120 to EM122 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.
