This Project Will Build Upon Research Conducted During a Phase I Sbir Effort, Which Showed That Germicidal Uv-c Radiation Emitted by Leds Installed Inside of Submerged Radiometers Can Reach Levels Known to Prevent Biofouling (accumulation of Biological Matter) on Their External Optical Surfaces (windows, Diffusers) Without Affecting the Instrument's Measurements. 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). We Will Build and Test Multichannel and Single-channel Radiometers for Measuring Light (irradiance and Radiance) in the Ultraviolet, Visible, and Infrared Range. Challenges Include the Integration of Leds and Other Optical Elements Identified in Phase I Into Pressure-rated Underwater Housings That Can Withstand Deployment in the Ocean for Several Months or More Without the Need of Servicing. Once Designed and Prototyped, These Radiometers Will Be

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 .
