RAPID: Emergency mooring deployment cruise necessitated by Kilo Moana hull incident

知识价值：本RAPID提案寻求资金来完成最初提出的工作。由于船舶问题，作为该项目的一部分计划的2次巡航中的第一次无法完成。需要RAPID资金，以便PI能够在巡航能够适应船舶时间表的情况下准备好部署HOT剖面仪。更广泛的影响：HOT剖面仪项目旨在通过为剖面仪提供电力和带宽，大幅提高我们在没有电缆观测站服务的地点长时间观测海洋的能力。如果成功，这项技术将极大地惠及这两个群体。此外，所获得的科学知识可能会提高我们对内波季节周期的理解，这对改进环流模式具有重要意义。

Intellectual Merit: This RAPID proposal seeks funding to complete the work originally proposed. Due to ship problems, the first of 2 cruises scheduled as part of this project could not be completed. The RAPID funding is required to allow the PI's to be ready to deploy the HOT profiler as soon as a cruise can be fit into the ship schedule. Broader Impacts:The HOT profiler project seeks to substantially improve our ability to observe the ocean on long time scales at locations not serviced by cabled observatories by supplying power and bandwidth to profiling vehicles. If successful, the technology will greatly benefit both of these groups. Additionally, the scientific knowledge gained will likely improve our understanding of the seasonal cycles of internal waves, which are of great import to the improvement of circulation models.
