This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $125,327 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to support oceanographic research and operations. The funding will be used to:
Replace cracked windows on the acoustic Doppler current profiler mounts on the R/V Armstrong research vessel and acquire spare parts, add a sound velocity sensor and spare to the vessel, purchase a large volume water sampling pump for the shared-use instrumentation pool, acquire a batch of high-power acoustic pingers, and provide a spare deck box to communicate with acoustic releases on scientific instrumentation.
These infrastructure upgrades and acquisitions will ensure the continued availability and proper functioning of critical oceanographic instrumentation and sampling equipment to support NSF-funded research projects conducted aboard WHOI's research vessels, the R/V Armstrong and R/V Atlantis. The award period runs from August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026.
