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

伍兹霍尔海洋研究所将购买一台现代化的、由计算机驱动的44英寸宽彩色绘图仪，该绘图仪将作为共享设施安装和维护。该绘图仪将连接到该机构的局域计算机网络，因此来自校园所有部分的调查人员将随时可以访问这一新功能。事实证明，三维地球物理数据等复杂数据集的大比例尺彩色图在数据解释和表示方面非常有用。这些设备将被维护以供所有研究人员使用，并将通过提高该机构支持研究和工程活动的能力而特别受益于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.
