2010 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

摘要2010年7月23日提案编号：1019806机构：迈阿密大学PI： R.该提案要求为迈阿密大学运营的R/V WALTON SMITH提供大量的船上科学支持设备（SSSE）项目;即船尾A形框架修理、锚绞盘设计和安装、电子导航系统升级以及船舶分析。的甲板螺栓连接模式。 所有要求的项目都将提高安全性或增强该船的科学支持能力。 更广泛的影响： 沃尔顿史密斯号研究船支持联邦政府资助的南大西洋和墨西哥湾的科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的了解。 在作业期间，该船定期让研究生和本科生接触航海海洋学。 还通过从船舶到海岸的实时卫星连接、开放日活动和教育巡航来实现公共外联。 沃尔顿史密斯计划在2010年完成大约100个NSF赞助日。

ABSTRACT 23 July 2010Proposal Number: 1019806Institution: University of MiamiPI: R. KniffinThis proposal requests numerous Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) items for the R/V WALTON SMITH operated by the University of Miami; namely stern A-frame repairs, anchor windlass design and installation, electronic navigation system up-grades, and analysis of the vessel?s deck bolting pattern. All of the items requested will either improve safety or enhance the science support capability of the vessel. Broader Impacts: The R/V WALTON SMITH supports federally funded scientific research in the southern Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico in order to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Pubic outreach is also achieved through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, open house events, and educational cruises. The WALTON SMITH is scheduled to complete approximately 100 NSF sponsored days in 2010.
