Funding is requested for the acquisition of new sensors in support of POOL. The Physical Oceanography Observing Laboratory (POOL) of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is a virtual facility that maintains and provides moored instrumentation to U.S. investigators conducting research supported by the National Science Foundation and other national agencies. Component laboratory groups construct the mooring elements and prepare the sensors, go to sea to deploy and recover moorings and, if requested by the principal investigator, extract and process the data from the moored instrumentation and make them ready for scientific analysis. Nearly 5 years ago now, the POOL instrumentation was significantly renewed through a Major Research Instrumentation grant. Nevertheless, the present inventory of POOL instrumentation is fully committed to current, ongoing projects, greatly restricting the ability to supportnew initiatives in the near future. Moreover, overlapping deployments now scheduled willresult in a shortfall in some requested instruments. Acquisition of selected new moored sensorsis requested here to address this shortfall and facilitate future field work. Instrumentation requested includes:1) Nortek Aquadopp current meters $128,160 2) Seabird SBE 37SM MicroCats $116,920 3) MMP upgrade/overhaul/modifications $103,425 4) EdgeTech 8242XS acoustic releases $133,200 5) Seabird SBE 37SM MicroCats $116,920 6) MMP upgrade/overhaul/modifications $103,425 $702,050 Broader ImpactsThe 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.

要求资助以支持池的新传感器。伍兹孔海洋学机构的物理海洋学观察实验室（池）是一个虚拟设施，可维持并为由国家科学基金会和其他国家机构提供支持的美国调查人员提供停泊的仪器。组件实验室组构建系泊元素并准备传感器，去海上部署和恢复系泊设备，并由首席研究人员的要求，从系泊器仪器中提取和处理数据，并准备好进行科学分析。大约5年前，通过主要的研究工具赠款，泳池仪器得到了显着更新。然而，目前的泳池工具清单完全致力于当前正在进行的项目，从而极大地限制了在不久的将来支持New计划的能力。此外，现在在某些要求的工具中不足以安排了重叠的部署。在这里要求收购选定的新系泊感觉，以解决这一短缺并促进未来的现场工作。 Instrumentation requested includes:1) Nortek Aquadopp current meters $128,160 2) Seabird SBE 37SM MicroCats $116,920 3) MMP upgrade/overhaul/modifications $103,425 4) EdgeTech 8242XS acoustic releases $133,200 5) Seabird SBE 37SM MicroCats $116,920 6) MMP升级/大修/修改$ 103,425 $ 702,050更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南的优点审查标准2（NSF 13-589）。它为科学家提供了基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享用途的仪器来支持其NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（NSF相关研究计划单独进行了审查）。 共享使用仪器的采集，维护和运行允许NSF资助的任何美国大学或实验室访问工作，校准研究的仪器，降低该研究成本并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。
