Operation SWAB: Monitoring of Ship, Van, and Laboratory 14C and 3H Contamination

该提案要求为SWAB计划提供5年的支持。SWAB计划在将船舶、相关货车和实验室的氚（3 H）和放射性碳（14 C）污染保持在最低限度方面已经成功超过35年。迈阿密大学提议继续测试学术研究船队（ARF）的平台，特别是那些参与测量14 C和3 H自然丰度的平台，作为全球海洋计划的一部分，如CLIVAR和GEOTRACES，GOSHIPS等。本提案的主要影响是在标准二之下（NSF 19-602），为科学家使用该船及其共用仪器提供基础设施支持，以支持他们的NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（分别由NSF的相关研究计划进行单独审查）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This proposal requests 5 years of support for the SWAB program. The SWAB program has been successful for over 35 years in keeping tritium (3H) and radiocarbon (14C) contamination on ships, associated vans and laboratories to a minimum. The University of Miami proposes to continue testing platforms of the Academic Research Fleet (ARF), particularly those involved in measuring natural abundances of 14C and 3H as part of global ocean programs such as CLIVAR and GEOTRACES, GOSHIPS etc. Broader Impacts:The principal impact of the present proposal is under criterion two (NSF 19-602), providing 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).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.
