Funds are provided to cost-share the acquisition and installation of a major new computer facility at the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. The facility will be available to all investigators at Lamont and will be used in support of oceanographic and other research projects. The new system is built around a distributed network of workstations connected through an ethernet to fileservers and peripherals at a central location. Modern hardware and networking techniques have been incorporated that are especially configured for the predominately observational nature of the basic research programs at Lamont. The networking feature of the system also permits expansion as research requirements demand and allows access to larger, remotely accessed computing facilities that are increasingly used in geosciences numerical modelling.

提供资金用于分摊在拉蒙特-多尔蒂地质观测站购置和安装一个重要的新计算机设施的费用。该设施将向拉蒙特的所有调查人员开放，并将用于支持海洋学和其他研究项目。新系统围绕一个分布式的工作站网络构建，这些工作站通过以太网连接到中央位置的文件服务器和外围设备。现代硬件和网络技术被纳入其中，这些技术是专门为拉蒙特基础研究项目的主要观察性性质而配置的。该系统的联网功能还允许根据研究需要进行扩展，并允许访问越来越多地用于地球科学数值模拟的更大的远程访问计算设施。
