The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution $151,979 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to enhance shared-use oceanographic instrumentation aboard the R/V Atlantis and R/V Neil Armstrong, two research vessels operated as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. The project, active from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028, delivers critical instrumentation upgrades and replacements that improve the reliability and capability of scientific observations conducted during oceanographic research operations. Specific deliverables include replacement of aging radiometers, acquisition of Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sampling system components, installation of an acoustic synchronization (K-Sync) system, and modernization of supporting scientific infrastructure to address equipment obsolescence and reduce operational risks associated with aging systems. These instrumentation enhancements maintain the technical infrastructure necessary to support high-quality observational capabilities for broad-based oceanographic research activities, including studies of ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, air-sea interactions, and other critical ocean processes. By ensuring continued access to reliable, modern observational data, the project strengthens shared research infrastructure across the academic research fleet while supporting workforce development and research activities relevant to ocean observation, environmental prediction, and coastal resilience. No sub-awards are planned for this project.Federal Grant Award Summary
