A request is made by the University of Hawaii to fund additional and replacement instrumentation for the R/V Kilo Moana, (KM), a 185? general purpose research vessel. The vessel is owned by the Navy and operated by the University of Hawaii as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Because of the unique SWATH design, the Kilo Moana is a very stable and comfortable platform from which to conduct oceanographic research. The ship was designed as a multi-purpose oceanographic research vessel with extensive equipment for geophysical (2 multibeam echo-sounders, sub-bottom profiler, gravimeter and magnetometer), physical oceanographic (Doppler current profilers, CTDs, pCO2); meteorological and radioisotope research. Over 2500 sq. ft. of space is provided in 8 different laboratories and over 4000 sq. ft. of exterior working space is available on the aft main deck and the forward 01 deck. The Kilo Moana was built in 2001 and commissioned in 2002. The vessel operates out of Honolulu, Hawaii, and works throughout the Pacific. In 2015, the vessel completed 191 days. Of these, 131 days (69%) were for NSF. In 2016, she is currently scheduled to sail 186 days of which 138 (74%) are funded by NSF.Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includes: 1) POS/MV Position Orientation System $87,253 2) High Accuracy Pressure Standard $9,200 $96,453 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.

夏威夷大学提出请求，为 R/V Kilo Moana (KM)（一艘 185?通用研究船。该船归海军所有，由夏威夷大学运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统 (UNOLS) 研究船队的一部分。 由于独特的 SWATH 设计，基洛莫阿纳号是一个非常稳定和舒适的进行海洋学研究的平台。该船被设计为多用途海洋学研究船，配备大量地球物理设备（2 个多波束回声测深仪、海底剖面仪、重力计和磁力计）、物理海洋学（多普勒海流剖面仪、CTD、pCO2）；气象和放射性同位素研究。 8 个不同的实验室提供超过 2500 平方英尺的空间，后主甲板和前 01 甲板上提供超过 4000 平方英尺的外部工作空间。 Kilo Moana 于 2001 年建造，并于 2002 年投入使用。该船在夏威夷檀香山以外的海域运营，并在整个太平洋地区作业。 2015年，该船完工191天。其中，131 天 (69%) 用于 NSF。 2016 年，她目前计划航行 186 天，其中 138 天（74%）由 NSF 资助。本提案中要求的海洋学仪器包括： 1) POS/MV 位置定向系统 $87,253 2) 高精度压力标准 $9,200 $96,453 更广泛的影响本提案的主要影响符合提案指南的绩效审查标准 2 （NSF 13-589）。它为科学家使用该船及其共享仪器提供基础设施支持，以支持其 NSF 资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受 NSF 相关研究计划的单独审查）。 共享仪器的采购、维护和操作使美国任何大学或实验室的 NSF 资助的研究人员都可以使用经过校准的工作仪器进行研究，从而降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。
