The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s (WHOI) Potential Fields Pool Equipment (PFPE) Facility, operated under its Shipboard Scientific Services Group (SSSG) recognizes that proposing and executing a BGM3 life cycle replacement plan is central to the future of marine gravity capability in US oceanographic research. This proposal requests the purchase of two critical items for operating marine gravimeters onboard academic research fleet (ARF) vessels. The PI discusses the rationale to fund one Dynamic Gravity Systems (DGS) marine gravimeter for a UNOLS Global Class vessel, and one DGS marine gravimeter for the research vessel N.B. Palmer. 1) DGS gravimeter for a ARF Global Class vessel $382,500 2) DGS gravimeter for R/V N. B. Palmer $382,500 $765,000 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.

伍兹孔海洋学机构（WHOI）的潜在领域泳池设备（PFPE）设施在其船上科学服务集团（SSSG）下运营，认识到，提案和执行BGM3生命周期替代计划是美国海洋研究中海洋重力能力未来的核心。该提案要求购买两项关键物品，用于在船上学术研究舰队（ARF）船舶上运行船用仓库。 PI讨论了为UNOLS全球级容器提供资助一个动态重力系统（DGS）海洋颗粒的基本原理，并为研究容器N.B.帕尔默。 1）ARF全球级船只的DGS Granimeter $ 382,​​500 2）R/V N.
