Oceanographic Instrumentation

夏威夷大学的夏威夷地球物理研究所将 购置几件海洋学仪器， 共享设备池中。 该设备的维护时间为 在研究船只上或连同研究船只使用该机构， 操作。 船舶运营时间表的很大一部分， 1988年是在支持NSF赞助的研究项目。 的 仪器仪表也将提高船舶的能力， 支持研究和工程活动。 仪器包括： - 数据记录和分析计算机系统，用于增加多个 用户航海计算能力， - 玫瑰花形板，用于升级水取样的框架 瓶子被连接，从而增加了收集的灵活性。 在特定海洋深度的离散海水样本， - 用于测量水中光衰减的透射计， 列，从中可以得出有关数量和 水中悬浮颗粒的类型， - 岩石薄片设备，用于制备采集的岩石样品 用于岩石学研究，以及 - 一台用于绘制海洋测深图和其他地图的平板测绘仪; 海底 夏威夷大学提供相当大的费用分担， 获取这些设备。 上述仪器将 提高该机构支持NSF赞助的 研究和工程项目。

The Hawaii Institute of Geophysics at the University of Hawaii 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 research vessels the institution operates. A substantial part of the ships' operating schedule during 1988 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ships and of the institution to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -A data logging and analysis computer system for increasing multi- user sea-going computing capabilities, -Rosette plates for upgrading the frame to which water sampling bottles are attached and thus increasing flexibility for collecting discrete seawater samples at specific ocean depths, -a transmissometer for measuring light attenuation in the water column, from which information may be derived about quantity and types of suspended particles in the water, -rock thin-section equipment for preparing samples of rocks collected from the sea floor for petrological investigations, and -a flatbed plotter for making bathymetric and other maps of the seafloor. The University of Hawaii is providing considerable cost sharing for acquiring this equipment. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the Institution to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
