Acquisition of a High-Performance Color Plotter as a Shared Use Facility

伍兹霍尔海洋研究所将获得一台现代化的、计算机驱动的、44英寸宽的彩色绘图仪，该绘图仪将作为公用设施安装和维护。绘图仪将连接到该机构的本地计算机网络，因此来自校园各个部分的调查人员都可以随时使用这种新功能。复杂数据集（如三维地球物理数据）的大比例尺彩色图已被证明对数据解释和表示非常有用。该设备将保留供所有研究人员使用，并将通过增加机构支持研究和工程活动的能力，特别有利于nsf赞助的研究项目。

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will acquire a modern, computer-driven, 44-inch wide color plotter that is to be installed and maintained as a shared use facility. The plotter will be connected to the institution's local area computer network so investigators from all parts of the campus will have ready access to this new capability. Large scale color plots of complex data sets, such as three- dimensional geophysical data, have proven very useful for data interpretation and presentation. This equipment will be maintained for use by all investigators and will especially benefit NSF-sponsored research projects by increasing the capabilities of the institution to support research and engineering activities.
