Oceanographic Instrumentation

提出了一项请求，以资助R/V罗杰·雷维尔的额外和备用仪器，273？通用全球船；R/V Melville，279英寸通用全球船；R/V New Horizon，170？通用海洋/中级船；R/V Sproul，125？沿海/本地通用船舶。所有四艘船都由斯克里普斯海洋研究所运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分。R/V罗杰·雷维尔和R/V梅尔维尔都是全球性船只，支持世界各地的多学科海洋学研究--S洋盆。R/V New Horizon主要专注于加州近海，但已被用于整个太平洋地区的工作。R/V Sproul的主要工作区域一直是南加州附近的大陆架和沿海环境。2013年，R/V Roger Revelle船期为247天，其中NSF天数占总船期的31%；R/V Melville船期为316天，NSF天数占总船期的44%；R/V New Horizon船期为157天，NSF天数占总船期的50%。加州拥有的R/V Sproul船2013年没有NSF日，目前船上只有一天的资金。本提案中要求的海洋仪器包括RDI 150 kHz OS ADCP$66,110 H2000 ROV备件$21,567 H2000 ROV电缆和改装$57,081 10m2 MOCNESS组件$46,279总计$191,037更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南的标准二。他们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(这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查)。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 Roger Revelle, a 273? general purpose Global vessel; the R/V Melville, a 279?general purpose Global vessel; the R/V New Horizon, a 170?, general purpose, Ocean/Intermediate vessel and the R/V Sproul, a 125? general purpose Coastal/Local vessel. All four vessels are operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. Both R/V Roger Revelle and R/V Melville are Global vessels and support multidisciplinary oceanographic research in all of the world?s ocean basins. R/V New Horizon focuses primarily on offshore California but has been used for work throughout the Pacific. The primary working area for R/V Sproul has been the continental shelf and coastal environments off Southern California. In 2013, R/V Roger Revelle is scheduled for 247 days with NSF days accounting for 31% of the total sailing schedule; R/V Melville is scheduled for 316 days with NSF days accounting for 44% of the total sailing schedule; and R/V New Horizon is scheduled for 157 days with NSF days accounting for 50% of the total sailing schedule. R/V Sproul, a vessel owned by the State of California, has no NSF days in 2013 and only one day currently funded on the vessel.Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includesRDI 150 KHz OS ADCP $66,110 H2000 ROV Spares $21,567 H2000 ROV Cable and Modifications $57,081 10m2 MOCNESS Components $46,279 TOTAL $191,037 Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two of the Proposal Guidelines. They provide 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.
