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.

夏威夷大学夏威夷地球物理研究所将购买几件海洋学仪器，并将其放置在共享设备池中。 该设备的维护是为了在该机构运营的研究船上使用或与其结合使用。 1988 年船舶运营计划的很大一部分是支持 NSF 资助的研究项目。 这些仪器还将提高船舶和机构支持研究和工程活动的能力。 该仪器包括： - 用于提高多用户海上计算能力的数据记录和分析计算机系统， - 用于升级水样瓶所附框架的玫瑰板，从而提高在特定海洋深度采集离散海水样本的灵活性， - 用于测量水柱中光衰减的透射计，从中可以得出有关水中悬浮颗粒的数量和类型的信息， - 岩石薄片设备，用于制备从海底收集的岩石样本以进行岩石学研究；以及 - 平板绘图仪，用于制作海底测深图和其他地图。 夏威夷大学为购买该设备提供了大量的费用分摊。 上述仪器将提高该机构支持 NSF 资助的研究和工程项目的能力。
