Providing Real-Time Camera Observational Capability to Multicore Sampling for Four UNOLS Operators

WHOI建议购买所需的高分辨率成像系统（3台新的高分辨率数字深海静止彩色相机和高强度深海频闪），以便联索特派团的许多操作人员能够随时为其多覆盖系统获得强大的实时深海数字静止成像能力。联索特派团4个机构的航海技术人员(SIO，U。夏威夷、美国、华盛顿和WHOI将接受系统操作和最佳实践方面的培训。带有成像系统的多角机操作文件。更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南（NSF 13-589）的优点评审标准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。

WHOI proposes to acquire the needed high-resolution imaging systems (3 new, high-resolution digital deep-sea still color cameras and high-intensity deep-sea strobes) so that numerous UNOLS operators would have ready access to robust real-time, deep-sea digital still imaging capabilities for their multicorer systems. Seagoing technical personnel at four (4) UNOLS institutions (SIO,U. Hawaii, U. Washington, & WHOI) will be trained in operating the systems and in developing?best-practices? documentation for operating multicorers with imaging systems.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.
