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.A request is made to fund Oceanographic Instrumentation for the Research Vessel Savannah, a 92 foot coastal research vessel, owned and operated by Skidaway Institute of Oceanography as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. Since being put into service in the fall of 2001, this coastal/local class research vessel has proven to be a capable and cost-effective platform for a range of research and education projects. The primary working area for the vessel has been the continental shelf, coastal and estuarine environments of the Southeastern United States. The ship has also conducted cruises that have crossed the Gulf Stream into the western Sargasso Sea and as far as Curacao in the SE Caribbean. The R/V Savannah has been specifically designed with a large science berthing capacity to provide learning opportunities in ocean and estuarine environments and to demonstrate oceanographic research methodologies to diverse and often under-served student populations. In 2016, the R/V Savannah completed 205 days at sea. NSF funded projects accounted for 60 days (35%) of the total sailing schedule. In 2017, the vessel currently has 151 days scheduled, of which 59 days (40%) are for NSF. With this proposal, Skidaway provides technical descriptions and rationale for the acquisition of the following Oceanographic Instrumentation:Redundant CTD System $59,725 Knudsen Chirp 3260 $74,940 $134,665

本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南（NSF 13-589）的优异审查标准2。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，维护和运营允许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，降低研究成本并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。A为92英尺高的沿海研究船萨凡纳（Savannah）资助海洋学仪器，由Skidaway海洋学研究所拥有和运营，作为大学国家国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究机队的一部分。自2001年秋季投入使用以来，这款沿海/地方阶层的研究船已被证明是一系列研究和教育项目的有能力且具有成本效益的平台。该船的主要工作区域是美国东南部的大陆架，沿海和河口环境。该船还进行了巡游，将墨西哥湾溪流驶入萨尔加索（Sargasso）西部，并延伸到塞里比海（SE Caribbean）的库拉科奥（Curacao）。 R/V Savannah专门设计具有庞大的科学泊位，可在海洋和河口环境中提供学习机会，并展示海洋学研究方法论，以实现多样化且通常不足的学生人数。 2016年，R/V Savannah在海上完成了205天。 NSF资助的项目占帆船总进度时间表的60天（35％）。在2017年，该船目前计划有151天，其中NSF为59天（40％）。通过此提案，Skidaway为获取以下海洋学仪器提供了技术描述和理由：冗余CTD系统$ 59,725 Knudsen Chirp 3260 $ 74,940 $ 134,665
