A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation for the R/V Blue Heron, an 86-foot Coastal research vessel owned by the University of Minnesota and operated by the Large Lakes Observatory as part of the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF). Built in 1985 for fishing on the Grand Banks, the Blue Heron was purchased by the University of Minnesota in 1997. She is outfitted with state-of-the-art research equipment, has berthing for 11 crew and scientists, and can operate 24 hours per day for up to 21 days in between port calls. The Blue Heron is part of the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) and is available for charter by research scientists on any of the Great Lakes. In 2018, the vessel completed 44 funded days where 21 (48%) were for NSF. In 2019, Blue Heron is currently scheduled for 75 days, 60 of these (80%) will be for NSF.Oceanographic Instrumentation requested in this proposal includes:1) ADCP 150 kHz system upgrade $68,000 2) ADCP 600 kHz system upgrade $35,000 3) Pole mount for interim $14,000 $117,000 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.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

提出了要求为R/V Blue Heron提供额外和备用仪器的要求，R/V Blue Heron是一座由明尼苏达大学拥有的86英尺沿海研究船，由大湖泊天文台运营，作为美国学术研究机队的一部分（ARF ）。 Blue Heron于1985年建于1985年在大银行钓鱼，于1997年被明尼苏达大学购买。每天在端口通话之间最多21天。蓝鹭是大学国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）的一部分，可以由任何大湖区的研究科学家租用。在2018年，该船完成了44天，其中21天（48％）用于NSF。在2019年，蓝鹭目前定于75天，其中60天（80％）将用于NSF。本提案中要求的环节仪器包括：1）ADCP 150 kHz系统升级$ 68,000 $ 68,000 2）ADCP 600 kHz系统升级$ 35,000 $ 35,000 3）临时杆坐骑$ 14,000 $ 117,000的更广泛影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南的优异审查标准（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，校准研究的工具，降低该研究的成本并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。本奖奖的奖项反映了这一奖项。 NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持。
