A New Technology for Reducing Biofouling (accumulation of Biological Matter on Submerged Surfaces) on Radiometers Measuring Light in the Water Column Will Be Developed. This Technology Will Improve the Long-term Accuracy of Sensors Monitoring the Health of the Oceans and Their Data Products (e.g., Concentration of Chlorophyll and Dissolved Organics). Inhibition of Biofouling Will Be Achieved Using Germicidal Uv-c Radiation. Irradiating Instruments With External Uv-c Sources Has Been Shown to Prevent Biofouling, But This Method Cannot Be Applied to Radiometers Requiring Unobstructed Field-of-views. as Optical Components (windows) of Radiometers Considered Here Are Made of Materials That Are Transparent to Uv-c Radiation (ptfe, Quartz Glass), We Will Use Uv-c Leds Installed Inside the Instruments. the Main Objectives in Phase I Are to Find the Best Led Type, Duty Cycle, Power System, and Geometry Without Interfering With the Radiometric Measurements. One Challenge Will Be to Irradiate Su

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
