The Potential Field Pool Equipment (PFPE) operated out of Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) provides marine gravimeter expertise, instrumentation and support to the United States oceanographic community, specifically the Academic Research Fleet (ARF). They propose to acquire a new DgS high-resolution advance technology (AT) marine gravimeter and integrate this new gravity acquisition system into the fleet of BGM-3 marine gravimeters currently in use. PFPE is funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and has been operating for several decades in support of academic potential fields measurements on research ships. Current BGM-3 gravimeter systems used in the ARF are between 30-40 years old. While these gravimeters produce excellent data, they contain electromechanical sensors that require extensive maintenance and care in handling/shipping, and they are ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) classified. New-generation gravimeters will provide significant advantage in operations and maintenance over time and are not subject to ITAR controls. One meter is proposed here:DgS AT gravimeter $348,146 Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 19-602). 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.

在木洞海洋学机构（WHOI）运营的潜在田间泳池设备（PFPE）为美国海洋学社区，特别是学术研究机队（ARF）提供海洋重量表的专业知识，仪器和支持。他们建议获取新的DGS高分辨率高分辨率技术（AT）海洋仓库，并将这种新的重力采集系统整合到当前正在使用的BGM-3海洋仓库的机队中。 PFPE由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助，并且已经运营了数十年，以支持研究船上的学术潜在领域测量。 ARF中使用的当前BGM-3重量表系统在30 - 40年之间。尽管这些重量表产生了出色的数据，但它们包含机电传感器，这些传感器需要大量的处理/运输中的维护和护理，并且它们是分类的ITAR（国际武器法规）。新一代的重量表将随着时间的流逝提供重要的运营和维护优势，并且不受ITAR控制。这里提出了一米：重力计的DGS $ 348,146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 19-602）。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）。 共享使用工具的获取，维护和操作允许NSF资助的任何美国大学或实验室访问工作，校准其研究的仪器，降低该研究的成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。本奖项奖反映了NSF的立法任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力评估和广泛的评估来评估的，并值得通过评估来进行评估。
