Oceanographic Instrumentation

提出了一项请求，以资助R/V罗杰·雷维尔的额外和备用仪器，273？通用全球船；R/V Melville，279英寸通用全球船；R/V New Horizon，170？通用中级船和R/V Sproul，125？通用地区性船舶。所有四艘船都由斯克里普斯海洋研究所运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。该请求包括按优先顺序列出的五个项目：1)舰载网络升级2)MicroK-100温度桥3)TrackLink 5000 USBL4)降低ADCP(2个系统)5)AA-III自动分析仪的泵(3)更广泛的影响：本提案的主要影响在标准2下，为科学家使用该设备及其共用仪器支持他们的NSF资助的海洋研究项目提供基础设施支持(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 Roger Revelle, a 273? general purpose Global vessel; the R/V Melville, a 279?general purpose Global vessel; the R/V New Horizon, a 170?, general purpose, Intermediate vessel and the R/V Sproul, a 125? general purpose Regional vessel. All four vessels are operated by Scripps Institute of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The request includes five items listed by priority: 1) Shipboard Network Upgrades 2) MicroK-100 Termperature Bridge3) TrackLink 5000 USBL4) Lowered ADCP (2 systems)5) Pumps for AA-III AutoAnalyser (3)Broader 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.
