Five Year Request for East Coast Winch Facility

摘要：2010年6月18日提案编号：1043071机构：伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）PI: D. fisichella本提案申请运营资金，以支持2010年联合国海洋研究行动东海岸绞车池。这些设备池支持美国学术研究船队船上的科学作业，以及美国政府和非政府研究船上的其他联邦政府支持的科学项目。通过池可用（或即将可用）的绞车类型包括：1。轻型直拉绞车。中型直接牵引和牵引绞车重型牵引绞车（JASON绞车）系泊回收绞车专用处理系统，如GEO Traces和Long Core6。这些绞车和处理系统支持所有联索特派团船上的各种任务。联索特派团东海岸绞车池和斯克里普斯相应的西海岸绞车池也将确保设备符合联索特派团目前的标准，提供通用设计，并为学术船队和整个科学界提供适当的维护、行政和后勤支持。更广泛的影响：PI讨论了拟议的联索特派团东海岸绞车池的更广泛影响和知识价值。购买的共享使用设备以及为支持这些设备而建立的行政结构将为船舶操作员和科学界提供更好的服务。绞车池结构还将确保设备的适当维护、设计的通用性、符合现行标准，以及NSF在物流、跟踪和监督某些共享使用资产方面的效率。所支持的研究项目已单独进行了科学价值同行评议。伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所参与了大量的外展项目，包括海上船只的网络广播、开放日活动和其他倡议，如？潜水和发现？用潜水器ALVIN。

ABSTRACT 18 June 2010Proposal Number: 1043071Institution: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)PI: D. FisichellaThis proposal requests operational funding to support the UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool in CY 2010. The equipment pools support scientific operations aboard vessels in the US academic research vessel fleet as well as other federally-supported science projects aboard US government and non-government research vessels. The types of winches available (or soon to be available) through the pools include:1. Light-duty direct pull winches2. Medium-duty direct pull and traction winches3. Heavy-duty traction winches (JASON winch)4. Mooring recovery winches5. Specialized handling systems such as GEO Traces and Long Core6. Portable cable spoolersThese winches and handling systems support a wide variety missions on all UNOLS vessels. The UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool, and corresponding West Coast Winch Pool at Scripps, will also serve to ensure that the equipment meets current UNOLS standards, provides commonality of design, and provides proper maintenance, administrative and logistical support to the academic fleet and the science community at large.Broader Impacts: The PI addressed the Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit of the proposed UNOLS East Coast Winch Pool. The shared-use equipment purchased, and the administrative structure established to support the equipment, will provide improved services to both the vessel operators and the scientific community. The Winch Pool structure will also ensure proper maintenance of equipment, commonality of design, compliance with current standards, and efficiencies to NSF with regard to logistics, tracking and oversight of certain shared-use assets. The research projects supported have been individually peer-reviewed for scientific merit. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute participates in a large number of outreach programs including web broadcasts from vessel while at sea, open house events, and other initiatives such as ?Dive and Discover? with the submersible ALVIN.
