This award is a cooperative grant to Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOI) for activities associated with the acquisition and development of a shipboard communications system that will be capable of high data rate transfers from ship to shore. The communications system will be installed on the research vessel THOMAS THOMPSON, a 279-foot vessel, owned by the Navy and operated by the University of Washington. The system will be heavily used in 1995 and 1996 to support the JGOFS Arabian Sea Program. This proposal is part of a cooperative proposal to develop a prototype shipboard communications system called SEANET. Proposals included in the cooperative grant are: Proposal # PI Institution #95-10117 Andy Maffei Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution #95-09870 Dale Chayes Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory #94-19306 Ellen Kappel Joint Oceanographic Institutions These three proposals outline an effort to develop a prototype shipboard communications systems as follows: 1) Dale Chayes at LDEO will purchase the shipboard hardware ($53,000), work with Andy Maffei to integrate the hardware, travel to Oman to install the system on the R/V THOMPSON, and participate in one cruise in order to trouble shoot the system and teach the THOMPSON's technicians/scientists how to use it. LDEO will also provide some administrative support to establish a billing system for INMARSAT charges resulting from use of the system during the year, and Chayes will remove and redeploy the system on another ship when JGOFS cruises are completed. 2) Andy Maffei at WHOI will assist Chayes with the integration of the hardware and will provide user-friendly software for the shipboard communications system. He will integrate the system's hardware and software, including the ship's system, INMARSAT satellites, earth groundstations, routers, and Internet connections. He will be available to trouble-shoot the sy stem as necessary during operations. 3) Ellen Kappel (JOI) and Rex Buddenburg (NPGS): Kappel will provide overall program management, including communication of program goals and progress to all UNOLS institutions, and will integrate the NSF's SEANET effort with complementary efforts of other agencies, including but not limited to NOAA, USCG and NASA. Buddenburg, a satellite communications expert, will provide technical coordination with NASA during the system development and analysis of options to use other satellite systems. The goals of creating a system that will support high-speed-data transfer from ship to shore and connections to the Internet are part of OCE's plan for the High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) initiative. Therefore, joint support for this effort will be provided by the Oceanographic Sciences Research Section (OSRS) and by the Oceanographic Facilities Section (OCFS).

该奖项是向拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球观测站 (LDEO)、伍兹霍尔海洋研究所 (WHOI) 和联合海洋学研究所 (JOI) 的合作资助，用于与采购和开发具有高数据速率的船载通信系统相关的活动从船上转移到岸上。 该通信系统将安装在托马斯·汤普森号研究船上，这艘船长 279 英尺，隶属于海军，由华盛顿大学运营。 该系统将在 1995 年和 1996 年大量使用，以支持 JGOFS 阿拉伯海计划。 该提案是开发名为 SEANET 的原型舰载通信系统的合作提案的一部分。 合作赠款中包含的提案包括： 提案 # PI 机构 #95-10117 Andy Maffei Woods Hole 海洋学研究所 #95-09870 Dale Chayes Lamont Doherty 地球观测站 #94-19306 Ellen Kappel 联合海洋学机构 这三项提案概述了开发一个原型舰载通信系统如下： 1) LDEO 的 Dale Chayes 将购买舰载硬件（53,000 美元），与 Andy Maffei 合作集成硬件，前往阿曼在 R/V THOMPSON 上安装系统，并参加一次巡航以排除系统故障并教 THOMPSON 的技术人员/科学家如何使用它。 LDEO 还将提供一些行政支持，以建立一个计费系统，用于支付年内使用该系统产生的 INMARSAT 费用，而 Chayes 将在 JGOFS 巡航完成后将该系统移除并重新部署到另一艘船上。 2) WHOI 的 Andy Maffei 将协助 Chayes 进行硬件集成，并为舰载通信系统提供用户友好的软件。 他将集成该系统的硬件和软件，包括船舶系统、国际海事卫星组织卫星、地球地面站、路由器和互联网连接。 在操作期间，他将根据需要对系统进行故障排除。 3) Ellen Kappel (JOI) 和 Rex Buddenburg (NPGS)：Kappel 将提供总体计划管理，包括向所有 UNOLS 机构通报计划目标和进展，并将 NSF 的 SEANET 工作与其他机构的补充工作结合起来，包括但不限于仅限于 NOAA、USCG 和 NASA。 卫星通信专家布登堡将在系统开发和分析使用其他卫星系统的选项期间与 NASA 进行技术协调。 创建一个支持从船到岸的高速数据传输以及互联网连接的系统的目标是 OCE 高性能计算和通信 (HPCC) 计划的一部分。 因此，海洋科学研究科（OSRS）和海洋设施科（OCFS）将共同支持这项工作。
