Oceanographic Technical Services, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 2018-2022

斯克里普斯海洋研究所(SIO)建议支持三艘考察船的技术服务，这三艘考察船都是由大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)计划的美国学术舰队的一部分。将支持的舰艇包括R/V Revelle、R/V Sproul和R/V Sally Ride，这是一种新的海军拥有的舰艇，于2016年服役。作为其基本业务的一部分，他们将为每个海洋研究项目提供一名(Sproul)或两名(Revelle和Sally Ride)技术人员，以支持基本服务，他们将维护、校准和向合格用户提供其共用研究仪器池中的物品。他们还提议为调查人员提供几项专门支持，并单独收费。2018年拟提供的专门支助包括：？参考质量CTD(ODF)？其他技术支持？HiSeasNet管理？HiSeasNet扩张？HiSeasNet硬件？水文多普勒声纳(HDSS)？MOCNESS接口？多频道地震？海洋哺乳动物的缓解？船舶运营的网络基础设施？卫星NAG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、维护和操作允许美国国家科学基金会资助的任何美国大学或实验室的研究人员获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) proposes to support technical services on three research vessels, all operated as part of the U.S. Academic Fleet which is scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). Ships to be supported include R/V Revelle, R/V Sproul and R/V Sally Ride, a new Navy-owned vessel which came into service in 2016. As part of their basic operations they will provide one (Sproul) or two (Revelle and Sally Ride) technicians on each seagoing research project to support basic services and they will maintain, calibrate and provide for qualified users items from their pool of shared-use research instrumentation. They also propose to provide several elements of specialized support for investigators, with separate charges. Specialized support proposed for 2018 includes:? Reference Quality CTD (ODF)? Additional Technical Support? HiSeasNet Management? HiSeasNet Expansion? HiSeasNet Hardware? Hydrographic Doppler Sonar (HDSS)? MOCNESS Interface? Multichannel Seismic? Marine Mammal Mitigation? Cyberinfrastructure for Vessel Operations? SatNAG Broader 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
