Oceanographic Instrumentation for the R/V Savannah

请求为研究船萨凡纳的额外和备用仪器提供资金。R/V萨凡纳号是一艘92英尺长的沿海研究船，由斯基达韦海洋研究所运营，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该请求包括按优先级列出的四个项目：1）水下拖曳车辆2）光学硝酸盐传感器3）甲板培养装置4）立体显微镜更广泛的影响：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资助的研究人员使用工作、校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。

A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation for the R/V Savannah. The R/V Savannah is a 92 foot coastal research vessel operated by Skidaway Institute of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The request includes four items listed by priority: 1) Acrobat Towed Vehicle 2) Optical Nitrate Sensor 3) Deck Incubation Units 4) Stereo MicroscopeBroader 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.
