Oceanographic Instrumentation

阿拉斯加大学海洋科学研究所将获得几项海洋仪器，放在一个共享使用设备池中。该设备的维护是为了在R/V ALPHA HELIX上使用或与之配合使用，ALPHA HELIX是一艘由NSF拥有并由大学运营的研究船。1989年期间，该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机构支持研究和工程活动的能力。仪器包括：- SUN工作站和其他外围计算机设备，用于访问和管理海上和岸基实验室的大型数据集；-增加共享使用的微型计算机和相关设备；-用于显示海底剖面和其他数据的x - y绘图仪，-用于收集水柱不同深度的离散海水样本的niskin瓶，以及-几种精密，深海倒转式温度计。上述仪器将增加该组织支持nsf赞助的研究和工程项目的能力。

The Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of Alaska 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 R/V ALPHA HELIX, a research vessel owned by the NSF and operated by the University. A substantial part of the ship's operating schedule during 1989 is in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The instrumentation will also increase the capabilities of the ship and of the institution to support research and engineering activities. The instrumentation includes: -A SUN work station and other peripheral computer equipment for accessing and managing large data sets at sea and at the shore-based laboratory, -Microcomputer and associated equipment for increasing shared-use, sea-going computing and communications capabilities, -X-Y Plotter for display of seafloor profiles and other data, -Niskin bottles for collecting discrete seawater samples at various depths in the water column, and -several precision, deep-sea reversing thermometers. The instrumentation described above will increase the capability of the organization to support NSF-sponsored research and engineering projects.
