Oceanographic Instrumentation

密歇根大学五大湖研究部将购买几件海洋学仪器，放入共享设备池中。该设备由大学拥有和运营的R/V Laurentian号科考船使用或与该船联合使用。这艘船在1988年的运营计划中有很大一部分是为了支持NSF赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高该船和该机构支持研究和工程活动的能力。该仪器包括：-活塞式取样器，用于采集长达15米的沉积物岩心样品，用于地质和古生态调查，以及-一台测量质量的回声测深仪，用于描绘海底和研究鱼类种群。上述仪器将提高大学支持国家科学基金会赞助的研究和工程项目的能力。*//

The Great Lakes Research Division of the University of Michigan will acquire several items of oceanographic instrumentation to be placed in a pool of shared use equipment. This equipment is maintained for use on or in association with the R/V LAURENTIAN, a research vessel owned and operated by the University. A substantial part of the ship's operating schedule during 1988 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ship and of the institution to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -A piston corer for collecting core samples of sediments up to 15 meters in length for geological and paleoecological investigations, and -a survey quality echo sounder for profiling the bottom and for studying fish populations. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the University to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects. ***//
