A request is made by the University of Washington to fund additional and replacement instrumentation for the R/V Thompson, a 274? general purpose, global class research vessel, and R/V Barnes, a 66-foot coastal research vessel, both operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet.These platforms provide facilities for conducting oceanographic research funded by the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies. The instrumentation they propose to acquire will provide operational flexibility to projects that are embarked upon both vessels and will increase their capacity to do useful science and data collection during transits between funded cruises. Thompson completed 275 days in 2015; 133 of these days (48%) were for NSF. On Barnes, 9 of the 50 days (18%) were for NSF. In 2016, Thompson is scheduled for 130 days and 49 (38%) are for NSF. The schedule is light for Thompson because she goes into the yard for a mid-life refit in June. Barnes is scheduled to sail 86 days in 2016, with 9 days (9%) funded by NSF. Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment requested in this proposal includes:R/V Atlantic Explorer DESH-5 Winch Refurbishment /Upgrade $582,050 Gyrocompass System $379,377 $961,427 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.

华盛顿大学提出请求，为 R/V Thompson（274？）提供额外和替换仪器的资助。通用全球级研究船和 66 英尺长的 R/V Barnes 沿海研究船均属于大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队。这些平台为进行由国家科学资助的海洋学研究提供了设施基金会和其他联邦机构。他们提议购买的仪器将为两艘船上启动的项目提供操作灵活性，并将提高它们在受资助的巡航之间进行有用的科学和数据收集的能力。汤普森在2015年完成了275天；其中 133 天 (48%) 是为 NSF 准备的。在巴恩斯，50 天中有 9 天（18%）是 NSF 的。 2016 年，Thompson 计划工作 130 天，其中 49 天（38%）为 NSF。汤普森的日程安排很轻松，因为她六月要到院子里进行中年改装。巴恩斯号计划 2016 年航行 86 天，其中 9 天 (9%) 由 NSF 资助。本提案中要求的船上科学支持设备包括：R/V Atlantic Explorer DESH-5 绞盘翻新/升级 $582,050 电罗经系统 $379,377 $961,427 更广泛的影响 本提案的主要影响符合提案指南 (NSF 13-589) 的优点审查标准 2 ）。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。
