Features increased endurance, advanced technological capabilities and greater space for scientific study. With the ability to carry 24 scientists on missions up to 40 days, the new ship is designed to support integrated and interdisciplinary research across entire ocean basins. R/V Sally Ride is outfitted with sophisticated equipment including seafloor mapping systems, Doppler sensors to reveal deep currents, imaging systems to study wildlife and wave radars. These, in addition to portable systems such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), provide extraordinary capability to study earth, ocean and atmospheric processes from the ice edge to the equator in tropical and temperate oceans around the world. It also serves the academic community's ongoing need for a general-purpose ship based on the East Coast of the United States. The pivotal role that the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans plays in Earth?s climate results in an increase in efforts to observe these areas, as well new efforts to study North Atlantic ecosystems and their sustainability. R/V Neil Armstrong is be uniquely equipped and positioned to enable scientists from around the world to reveal new details about this critical part of the global ocean. sponsor: title: DOD/USNAVY/ONR> U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research (owner) xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/9ae0495e-4056-4af4-864a-eaa0110a7e07 sponsor: title: resourceProvider - Scripps Institution of Oceanography xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/dd2ec3c0-ed58-11e1-aff1-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Kongsberg EM710 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/20729752-cee0-49a6-abc4-319bd73a3429 instrument: title: Kongsberg EM122 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/fe768bf9-e627-4cb6-9b70-4d201d6ffe2b instrument: title: Simrad EK80 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/cfc2ac19-b32a-4753-a934-efe8a57cc496 |
