Oceanographic Technical Services, R/V Revelle, R/V Melville, R/V New Horizon and R/V Sproul, 2012 ? 2016

斯克里普斯海洋研究所(SIO)建议支持四艘考察船的技术服务，这四艘考察船都是由大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)计划的美国学术舰队的一部分。待支持的船舶包括R/V Revelle、R/V Melville、R/V New Horizon和R/V Sproul。作为其基本业务的一部分，他们将为每个海洋研究项目提供一名(Sproul，新地平线)或两名(Revelle，Melville)技术人员，以支持基本服务，他们将维护、校准和向合格用户提供其共用研究仪器池中的物件。他们还提议为调查人员提供几项专门支持，并单独收费。2012年拟议的专门支助包括：？参考质量水文支持？多通道地震反射剖面图及其对海洋哺乳动物影响的相关缓解。HiSeasNet(学术舰队海上互联网连接)的管理？SeaSoar专业支持？船舶/岸上互联网管理？HDSS SonarBroader影响本提议的主要影响是在标准二下，为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享使用的仪器，以支持他们由NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目分别由NSF的相关研究计划单独审查)。对共用仪器的维护和操作的支持使美国国家科学基金会资助的任何美国大学或实验室的研究人员都可以为他们的研究使用经过校准的工作仪器，从而降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。

Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) proposes to support technical services on four research vessels, all operated as part of the U.S. Academic Fleet which is scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Ships to be supported include R/V Revelle, R/V Melville, R/V New Horizon and R/V Sproul. As part of their basic operations they will provide one (Sproul, New Horizon) or two (Revelle, Melville) technicians on each seagoing research project to support basic services and they will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. They also propose to provide several elements of specialized support for investigators, with separate charges. Specialized support proposed for 2012 includes:? Reference Quality Hydrographic Support? Multichannel Seismic reflection profiling and related mitigation of impacts on marine mammals.? Management for HiSeasNet (Internet connectivity at sea for the Academic Fleet )? SeaSoar specialized support ? Ship/Shore Internet Management? HDSS sonarBroader ImpactsThe 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 support of 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.
