Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment/RV Cape Hatteras

摘要：2011年7月30日提案号：1118495机构：杜克大学ypi: B. corlisco - pi: R. smith本提案要求杜克大学在R/V CAPE HATTERAS上使用四项船上科学支持项目；也就是说，一个新的综合导航系统，20英尺的存储容器，重力核心支架，以及自动渲染/恢复？适用于现有拖网绞车。它还包括为集体购买工程支助提供资金，以便开始使船只符合联索特派团研究船安全标准（RVSS）附录B的紧急要求。所有项目都将提高安全性或大大提高对科学的支持能力。更广泛的影响和知识价值：PI解决了拟议设备的更广泛的影响和知识价值，特别是对R/V CAPE HATTERAS以及更广泛的舰队。所支持的研究项目已单独进行了科学价值同行评议。在作业期间，CAPE HATTERAS经常让研究生和本科生接触海洋。这艘船还定期开放给本科生、高中生和中学生以及童子军和博物馆等民间团体参观。PI和海上行动小组也调查了船上生物燃料的使用，并将主持nsf资助的？绿色船舶工作坊？2012年初。作为一艘区域船，R/V CAPE HATTERAS参与了2010年墨西哥湾深水地平线漏油灾难的快速科学反应，并计划在2011年支持近70天的nsf资助。

ABSTRACT 30 July 2011Proposal Number: 1118495Institution: Duke UniversityPI: B. CorlissCo-PI: R. SmithThis proposal requests four Shipboard Scientific Support items for Duke University for use aboard the R/V CAPE HATTERAS; namely a new integrated navigation system, 20-foot storage containers, gravity core stand, and ?auto-render/recover? for an existing trawl winch. It also includes funding for a group purchase of engineering support to begin bringing vessels into compliance with emergent UNOLS Research Vessel Safety Standards (RVSS), Appendix B requirements. All items will either enhance safety or provide greatly improved support capabilities to science.Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit: The PI addressed the Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit of the proposed equipment specifically for the R/V CAPE HATTERAS as well as the broader Fleet. The research projects supported have been individually peer-reviewed for scientific merit. During operations, the CAPE HATTERAS routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. The vessel is also routinely open for tours for undergraduate, high school and middle school students as well as civic groups like Scout troops and museums. The PI and marine operations group have also investigated the use of bio-fuel on board the ship and will be hosting the NSF-funded ?Green Ship Workshop? in early 2012. As a regional vessel, the R/V CAPE HATTERAS was involved in the rapid scientific response to the Deep Water Horizon oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, and is scheduled to support nearly 70 NSF-funded days in CY 2011.
