Oceanographic Instrumentation 2011

提出了一项请求，以资助R/V Wecoma上的额外和后备仪器，185？由俄勒冈州立大学运营的通用研究船，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。这艘船归美国国家科学基金会所有。该请求包括：1)基于GPS的网络时间服务器2)多芯翻新3)R/V WECOMA4)双速率脉冲干扰影响：本提案的主要影响在标准2下，为科学家提供基础设施支持以支持他们的NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目将由NSF的相关研究项目单独审查)。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 on the R/V Wecoma, a 185? general purpose research vessel operated by Oregon State University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The vessel is owned by the National Science Foundation. The request includes:1) GPS Based Network Time Server2) Multicorer Refurbishment3) Acoustic Testing on R/V WECOMA4) Double-Rate PingersBroader 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 researcher.
