Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Caley Upgrade

2012年7月9日建议编号：1219288机构：特拉华州大学PI：W.ByamCo-PI：[无]本提案请求为特拉华大学R/V Hugh R.Sharp提供一件舰载科学支持设备；即为现有CTD处理系统升级控制系统。该奖项代表了一个多年项目奖项的第一阶段，该奖项最终将支持夏威夷大学的KRO MOANA进行类似的系统升级。该项目将极大地增强两艘船的安全和科学保障能力。更广泛的影响和智力价值：PI专门针对R/V Hugh R.Sharp解决了拟议设备的更广泛影响和智力价值。所支持的研究项目都经过了个别同行评审，以确定其科学价值。在作业过程中，这些船只通常会让研究生和本科生接触到海洋方面的知识。具体地说，海洋和地球研究学院参与了大量的外展计划，包括开放参观活动(海岸日)、参与Mate计划和教育巡航。该学院还主办了联合国日内瓦办事处东海岸厢式泳池。R/V休·R·夏普计划在2012财年支持NSF资助的90多天。

ABSTRACT 09 July 2012Proposal Number: 1219288Institution: University of DelawarePI: W. ByamCo-PI: [None]This proposal requests one Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment item for the University of Delaware for the R/V HUGH R. SHARP; namely control system up-grades for the existing CTD Handling System. This award represents Phase I of a multi-year project award that will eventually support similar system up-grades on the University of Hawaii's KILO MOANA. This project will greatly enhance safety and science support capabilities on both vessels. Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit: The PI addressed the Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit of the proposed equipment specifically for the R/V HUGH R. SHARP. The research projects supported have been individually peer-reviewed for scientific merit. During operations, these vessels routinely expose graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. Specifically, College of Marine and Earth Studies participates in a large number of outreach programs including open house events (Coast Day), participation the MATE program, and educational cruises. The College also hosts the UNOLS East Coast Van Pool. The R/V HUGH R. SHARP is scheduled to support over 90 NSF-funded days in CY 2012.
