Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment 2011

摘要2011年7月14日提案编号：1119881机构：迈阿密大学PI： R.该提案要求为迈阿密大学运营的R/V WALTON SMITH提供两个船上科学支持设备（SSSE）项目;即将一个拖网绞车和卷筒转换为3/8”钢丝绳和一个新的油水分离器。 这些项目将提高安全性，增强科学支持能力，和/或允许船舶满足当前的监管要求。 更广泛的影响： 沃尔顿史密斯号研究船支持联邦政府资助的南大西洋和墨西哥湾的科学研究，以扩大人类对海洋环境的了解。 在作业期间，该船定期让研究生和本科生接触航海海洋学。 还通过从船舶到海岸的实时卫星连接、开放日活动和教育巡航来实现公共外联。 沃尔顿史密斯计划在2011年完成大约50个NSF赞助日。

ABSTRACT 14 July 2011Proposal Number: 1119881Institution: University of MiamiPI: R. KniffinThis proposal requests two Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment (SSSE) items for the R/V WALTON SMITH which is operated by the University of Miami; namely conversion of one trawl winch and drum to 3/8" wire rope and a new Oily Water Separator. These items will either improve safety, enhance the science support capability, and/or allow the vessel to meet current regulatory requirements. Broader Impacts: The R/V WALTON SMITH supports federally funded scientific research in the southern Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico in order to expand human knowledge of the ocean environment. During operations, the vessel routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Pubic outreach is also achieved through real-time satellite connectivity from ship to shore, open house events, and educational cruises. The WALTON SMITH is scheduled to complete approximately 50 NSF sponsored days in 2011.
