NOAA RONALD BROWN
The NOAA
Ship Ronald H. Brown (R-104) is a blue-water research
vessel of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. She is NOAA's only Global Class
research ship, also the largest vessel in the NOAA
fleet.
With its
highly advanced instruments and sensors, Ronald H. Brown
travels worldwide supporting scientific studies to
increase our understanding of the world's oceans and
climate. The hull of the ship is hardened against ice to
allow for Arctic and Antarctic research. The ship
also includes a 2-bed hospital facility and could
accommodate up to 31 scientists.
The deck equipment features three winches, two fixed
cranes, a portable crane, a hydrographic boom and an
A-frame. This equipment gives the Ronald H. Brown a
lifting capacity of up to 42,000 pounds (19,000 kg) as
well as up to 33,000 ft (10,000 meters) of cable that
can pull up to 8,100 pounds (3,700 kg). One of the
winches is specifically for use with specialty cables
such as optical fiber cables or coaxial EM Cable.
As a research vessel, a substantial amount of the ship
is dedicated to laboratories. Included in the 4,100
square feet (380 m2) of lab space are a
computer/electronics lab, a biochemical lab and a wet
lab.
In addition to her state-of-the-art oceanographic
and atmospheric research platform sampling capabilities,
the Ronald H. Brown has instrumentation to study the
atmosphere, including a Doppler weather radar for a
better understanding of storm dynamics at sea. This
combined atmospheric and oceanographic sampling
capability makes the ship unique in the world's research
fleet. Scientists aboard the vessel study critical
environmental issues across the world's oceans.
