The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) was awarded a two-year, $370,246 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
The grant funds the acquisition of oceanographic instrumentation to support NSF-funded scientific research. SIO will maintain the instrumentation for use by researchers nationwide through the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System collaborative framework. Funded items include acoustic Doppler current profiler systems ($143k), cyberinfrastructure ($601k), a motion reference system renewal for the R/V Sally Ride ($204k), multibeam echosounder system spares for the R/V Sally Ride and R/V Roger Revelle ($175k), and a PCO2 system upgrade for the R/V Roger Revelle ($52k). This shared-use instrumentation will provide scientists validated tools to conduct their NSF-supported oceanographic projects while reducing research costs. The award was issued on April 1, 2022 to the University of California San Diego for the benefit of SIO.
