Oceanographic Instrumentation

大学海洋研究生院。罗德岛大学将购买几件海洋学仪器，放入共享设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在R/V奋进号上使用或与R/V奋进号关联使用，R/V奋进号是一艘由NSF拥有并由大学运营的研究船。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。该仪器还将增强该船和该大学支持研究和工程活动的能力。该仪器包括：-船上的遥感计算机和图像显示设备，为船上的科学家提供从卫星收集的近实时数据，-浅水CTD，用于精确测量海水温度和电导率随深度的变化；-CTD甲板控制单元；-荧光计，用于测量水柱中的叶绿素和其他色素，-水样瓶，以及-一台减压计算机，以加强海上潜水作业的安全。上述工具将提高该组织支持NSF赞助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Graduate School of Oceanography at the Univ. of Rhode Island 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 ENDEAVOR, a research vessel owned by the NSF 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 instrumenta- tion will also increase the capabilities of the ship and of the University to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -Shipboard Remote Sensing Computer and image display equipment to provide scientists on board with near real-time data collected from satellites, -shallow-water CTD for making precision measurements of seawater Temperature and Conductivity as a function of Depth, -a CTD deck control unit, -a fluorometer for measuring chlorophyll and other pigments in the water column, -water sampling bottles, and -a decompression computer for enhancing safety of at-sea SCUBA diving operations. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the organization to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
