Oceanographic Instrumentation for the R/V Savannah

请求为R/V Savannah提供额外的后备仪器。R/V Savannah是一艘92英尺长的沿海考察船，由斯基德韦海洋研究所运营，是大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分。该请求包括按优先顺序列出的三个项目：1)升级数据采集系统2)多取心系统的采样组件3)声学甲板单元Broader的影响：本提议的主要影响是在标准2下，为科学家提供基础设施支持，以支持他们由NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目分别由NSF的相关研究计划单独审查)。共享仪器的获取、维护和操作使任何美国大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员都可以获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低了研究成本，并扩大了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 three items listed by priority: 1) Upgrade of Data Acquisition System 2) Sampling components for multi-corer system 3) Acoustic deck unitBroader Impacts: The principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two, providing infrastructure support for scientists to use the vessel and its shared-use instrumentation in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects (which individually undergo separate review by the relevant research program of NSF). 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.
