2017 Oeanographic Instrumentation R/V Atlantic Exploer

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。该计划建议授予113098美元用于以下采购：备用CTD甲板单元8,590OpenVDM数据管理系统10,098液氮发生器系统37,643升级正在进行的科学海水系统48,059升级测试和故障排除设备8,708美元113098美元

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.The Program recommends an award of $113,098 for the purchase of the following: Spare CTD Deck Unit $8,590OpenVDM Data Management System $10,098Liquid Nitrogen Generator System $37,643Upgrade Underway Scientific Seawater System $48,059Upgrade Test and Troubleshooting Equipment $8,708 $113,098
