请求为罗杰·雷维尔号（R/V Roger Revelle）上的额外和备用仪器提供资金。通用环球船；R/V梅尔维尔，公元279年？通用环球船；R/V新地平线，170？，通用，远洋/中级船和R/V斯普劳尔，一个125？一般用途海岸/本地船只。所有四艘船都由斯克里普斯海洋学研究所运营，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·雷维尔号和R/V梅尔维尔号都是海军拥有的全球船只。他们支持全世界的多学科海洋学研究？美国大洋盆地。R/V New Horizon为加利福尼亚州所有，主要集中在加利福尼亚近海，但也用于整个太平洋的工作。R/V Sproul的主要工作区域也属于加利福尼亚州，一直是南加州的大陆架和沿海环境。2013年，R/V Roger Revelle完成了266天，其中73天（27%）用于NSF。梅尔维尔完成了307天，其中169天（55%）为NSF工作。“新地平线”号总共航行了163天，其中57天（35%）为NSF资助，而“史普罗”号总共航行了31天，其中10天（30%）由NSF资助。2014年的时间表显示，Revelle总共有247天，其中62天（25%）用于NSF。梅尔维尔计划航行128天，其中80天（63%）为NSF服务。2014年，New Horizon总共有144天，其中62天（43%）有NSF，而Sproul有13天没有NSF。本提案中要求的海洋仪器包括：1)载重测试仪$ 15,425 2)H2000 ROV备件$ 40,933 $ 56,358更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南（NSF 13-589）的优点审查标准2。它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来支持他们的国家科学基金会资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受国家科学基金会相关研究计划的单独审查）。共享使用仪器的获取、维护和操作允许来自任何美国大学或实验室的nsf资助的研究人员为他们的研究访问工作、校准仪器，降低研究成本，并扩大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 owned by the Navy. They support multidisciplinary oceanographic research in all of the world?s ocean basins. R/V New Horizon, owned by the State of California, focuses primarily on offshore California but has been used for work throughout the Pacific. The primary working area for R/V Sproul, also owned by the State of California, has been the continental shelf and coastal environments off Southern California. In 2013, R/V Roger Revelle completed 266 days, 73 (27%) of which were for NSF. Melville completed 307 days, with 169 (55%) being for NSF. New Horizon sailed 163 days and 57 (35%) were for NSF while Sproul had 31 total days with 10 (30%) funded by NSF. The schedule for 2014 shows Revelle with 247 total days with 62 (25%) of them for NSF. Melville is scheduled to sail 128 days with 80 (63%) of them for NSF. New Horizon has 144 total days with 62 (43%) for NSF and Sproul has 13 days scheduled with no NSF days in 2014.Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) Deadweight Tester $ 15,425 2) H2000 ROV Spares $ 40,933 $ 56,358 Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 13-589). It provides 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.
