2015 Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

请求为R/V Atlantis上的额外和备份/更换设备提供资金，274？伍兹霍尔海洋研究所作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统研究船队的一部分运营的通用全球船。这艘船由美国海军拥有，拥有最先进的仪器设备，支持海洋研究的所有学科。全球号船，可容纳最多32人的科学考察队长达60天。这艘船在世界各地工作？S海洋支持主要由美国政府机构资助的科学。R/V Atlantis专门装备用于下水和维修Alvin、载人潜水器以及国家深潜器(NDSF)的其他运载工具。在学术舰队服务了30多年后，R/V Knorr于2014年退役。2014年，R/V Knorr完成了251天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占总航程(128天)的51%。2014年，亚特兰蒂斯号完成了316天的海上航行。NSF资助的项目占总航程(291天)的92%。2015年，亚特兰蒂斯号计划为285天，其中国家科学基金会占245天，占86%。本提案中要求的舰载科学支持设备包括：雷达系统：91,605美元布罗德影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南(NSF 13-589)的功绩审查标准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/replacement equipment on R/V Atlantis, a 274? general purpose Global vessel operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The vessel is owned by the U.S. Navy, has state-of-the-art instrumentation and supports all disciplines of oceanographic research. The Global vessel and can accommodate a scientific party of up to 32 persons for as many as 60 days. The vessel works in all the world?s oceans supporting science funded primarily by U.S government agencies. R/V Atlantis is specifically outfitted for launching and servicing Alvin, the human occupied submersible as well as other vehicles of the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF). R/V Knorr was retired in 2014 after over 30 years of excellent service in the Academic Fleet.In 2014, R/V Knorr completed 251 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 51% of the total sailing schedule (128 days). R/V Atlantis completed 316 days at sea in 2014. NSF funded projects accounted for 92% of the total sailing schedule (291 days). In 2015, Atlantis is scheduled for 285 days with NSF accounting for 245 of those or 86%.Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment requested in this proposal includes:Radar System: $91,605Broader Impacts The 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.
