2009 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

摘要2009年7月9日提案编号：0943977机构：夏威夷大学PI： A. ShorCo-PI：S.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。该提案要求为夏威夷大学运营的船舶（即R/V KILO MOANA）提供许多船上科学支持（SSSE）项目。 这些请求特别包括过去NSF检查、海军INSURV或巡航后评估（PCA）推荐的项目，以及由于成本原因被运营商推迟的项目。 所有要求的项目都将提高安全性，增强科学支持能力，或延长船舶使用寿命。 由于这些要求的性质和时间，SSSE计划通常要求的供应商报价标准被免除，其中许多数字是出于预算目的提供的估计数，主要基于船舶运营商过去类似工作的经验。 更广泛的影响： 夏威夷大学的船只支持联邦政府资助的科学研究，在世界各地的海洋，以扩大人类对海洋环境的知识。 在作业期间，这些船只通过从船到海岸的实时卫星连接和大学开放日活动，定期让研究生和本科生了解航海海洋学。 总的来说，KILO MOANA计划在2009年完成大约85个NSF赞助日。

ABSTRACT 09 July 2009Proposal Number: 0943977Institution: University of HawaiiPI: A. ShorCo-PI: S. WinslowThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The proposal requests numerous Shipboard Scientific Support (SSSE) items for the vessels operated by the University of Hawaii; namely the R/V KILO MOANA. The requests specifically include items that have been recommended from past NSF inspections, Navy INSURV's, or Post-Cruise Assessments (PCA's) and have been otherwise deferred by the operators due to cost. All of the items requested will either improve safety, enhance science support capability, or extend vessel service life. Due to the nature and timing of these requests, the vendor quotation standards normally required by the SSSE Program were waived out of necessity with many of the figures provided as estimates for budgetary purposes and based mainly on past experience of the vessel operators for similar work. Broader Impacts: The University of Hawaii vessels support federally funded scientific research throughout the world's oceans to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessels routinely expose graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, and University open house events. All told, the KILO MOANA is scheduled to complete approximately 85 NSF sponsored days in 2009.
