Scripps Institution of Oceanography - Oceanographic Equipment

斯克里普斯海洋研究所(SIO)要求为开展NSF支持的科学研究所需的海洋仪器提供资金。在大学-国家海洋学实验室系统(UNLS)的协作框架内，拟议的仪器将由SIO船舶运行部维护，供来自全国各地需要这些海洋设施的机构的NSF支持的科学家使用。需要仪器来支持学术研究舰队(ARF)的便携式地震能力。此外，还需要新的仪器，以支持海洋数据设施(ODF)的水文分析支助，该设施是物理、生物和化学海洋学的共同使用支助设施。在这份提案中，SIO为收购下列海洋仪器提供了技术说明和理由：便携式地震空气压缩机1,686,195美元网络基础设施(CI)，船舶运行和海洋技术服务(HPW)系统R/V Roger Revelle和R/V Sally Ride$17,847营养自动分析仪$95,761 Kongsberg APOS USBL调制解调器升级R/V Roger Revelle和R/V Sally Ride$13,629$1,970,378 Broader影响本提案的主要影响根据提案指南(NSF 19-602)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) requests funds for oceanographic instrumentation that is needed to carry out NSF-supported scientific research. Working within the collaborative framework of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), the proposed instrumentation will be maintained by the SIO ship operations department for use by NSF-supported scientists from institutions nationwide who require these seagoing facilities. Instrumentation is requested to support the portable seismic capabilities of the Academic Research Fleet (ARF). In addition, new instrumentation is requested to support hydrographic analysis support for the Oceanographic Data Facility (ODF), a shared use support facility for Physical, Biological and Chemical oceanography. With this proposal, SIO provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation: Portable Seismic Air Compressors $1,686,195Cyberinfrastructure (CI), Ship Operations and Oceanographic Technical Services $156,946Highly Purified Water (HPW) Systems R/V Roger Revelle and R/V Sally Ride $17,847Nutrient Autoanalyzer $95,761Kongsberg APOS USBL Modem Upgrade R/V Roger Revelle and R/V Sally Ride $13,629 $1,970,378Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 19-602). 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.
