9732824 McDUFF This project will supply shipboard scientific equipment for the research vessels C.A BARNES and THOMPSON, operated by the University of Washington, School of Oceanography and dedicated to use in support of ocean science research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. This Program provides support for such items as deck equipment including winch systems for the deployment and retrieval of scientific instruments, navigational equipment such as radars, gyroscopes and earth satellite receivers to pin point the location of research sites, communication equipment including radio transceivers and satellite transceivers for voice and scientific data communications and other equipment such as motorized workboats for transporting scientists to and from data retrieval sites. The Project Director, Russell E. McDuff is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project will allow the institution to acquire a depth sounder, a differential GPS with charts, and a life raft for the BARNES. It will also acquire a weather and ocean data system, an Argos satellite uplink receiver, a galley steamer and steering motors and pumps for the THOMPSON. ***
