Oceanographic Instrumentation 2012

提出了一项申请，以资助R/V Marcus Langseth上的额外和后备仪器，一台235？具有一般海洋能力的全球地震船，由哥伦比亚大学Lamont-Doherty地球天文台作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分运营。该申请包括三个按优先顺序列出的项目：1)螺栓灭火室和散布杆$254,8062)50%分流门$24,400 3)EM 122水柱记录器许可证$9,197总计$288,403影响：本提案的主要影响在标准二下，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 Marcus Langseth, a 235? Global seismic vessel with general oceanographic capabilities operated by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The request includes three items listed by priority:1) BOLT fire chambers and spreader bars $254,8062) 50% Diverter Doors $24,400 3) EM 122 Water column logger license $9,197 Total $288,403Broader 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.
