Scripps Institution of Oceanography/West Coast Winch Pool SSSE

加州圣地亚哥大学斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（SIO）要求为NSF西海岸绞车池的必要改进提供资金。这被认为对维护安全、降低风险、提高服务质量和保护环境非常重要。具体而言，SIO要求为NSF西海岸绞车池中的现代磁力计拖曳绞车提供资金。他们目前的磁力计拖绞车是古老的，不再符合研究船安全标准（RVSS）。从2016年夏天起，将禁止在联合国海洋法办公室的船只上使用。1）磁力计绞车 十一万八千一百一十三元 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NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（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资助的研究人员使用工作、校准仪器进行研究，降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego (SIO) requestsfunds for a needed enhancement to the NSF West Coast Winch Pool. This is considered importantin maintaining safety, risk reduction, improved quality of service, and protection of theenvironment. Specifically, SIO requests funds for a modern magnetometer tow winch for placementin the NSF West Coast Winch Pool. Their current magnetometer tow winch is ancient and no longercompliant with Research Vessel Safety Standards (RVSS). It will be prohibited from use onUNOLS vessels as of the summer of 2016.1) Magnetometer Winch $118,113 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.
