Oceanographic Instrumentation

迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院将获得几件海洋仪器，并将其放在一个共享使用设备池中。该设备是为在该机构运营的两艘研究船上使用或与之配合使用而维修的。1989年期间，这些船运行计划的很大一部分是为了支持nsf赞助的研究项目。该仪器还将提高舰船和大学支持研究和工程活动的能力。仪器包括：-磁盘驱动系统和其他外围计算机设备，用于增加共享使用的海上计算能力；-600 khz传感器，用于声学多普勒电流剖面仪系统，用于精确测量地下环流特征；-用于测量放射性同位素示踪剂和其他化学参数的闪烁计数器，-用于获得海水电导率和温度随深度的详细剖面的ctd， -用于测量水体中叶绿素和其他光学特性的荧光计和透射计，-用于在岸上实验室和船舶之间传输大型数据集的高速调制解调器；-用于改进溶解氧和盐度测量的便携式实验室升级；-用于海上遥感数据近实时分析和跟踪的卫星图像显示系统。上述仪器将增加研究所支持nsf资助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Miami 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 two research vessels the institution operates. A substantial part of the ships' operating schedule during 1989 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ships and of the University to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -Disk drive system and other peripheral computer equipment for increasing shared-use, sea-going computing capabilities, -600-kHz transducers for the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler system for making precision measurements of subsurface circulation features, -Scintillation counter for measurements of radio-isotope tracers and other chemical parameters, -CTD for obtaining detailed profiles of seawater conductivity and temperature as a function of depth, -Fluorometer and transmissometer for measuring chlorophyll and other optical properties in the water column, -High speed modem for transferring large data sets between shore based laboratories and the ship, -Portable laboratory upgrades for improving dissolved oxygen and salinity measurements, -Satellite image display system for near real-time analysis and tracking of remotely sensed data at sea. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the Institution to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
